An Albanian married couple and a 19-year-old girl were arrested yesterday afternoon, August 26, by the Carabinieri of the Operational and Radiomobile Unit of Chiari: in their house they possessed 1.3 kg of cocaine and a 22-caliber revolver kept illegal.

After discovering various movements considered suspicious, the military searched the couple's home, where their son's 19-year-old girlfriend also lived, finding a significant amount of cocaine, "certainly enough to satisfy the needs of the local market and wider".
During the search, the police seized 1.3 kg of cocaine, an illegally held .22 caliber revolver, a lot of cash and tools for packaging doses.
