A high voltage afternoon yesterday along the 106 state road in Reggio Calabria, where a normal control of the territory by the carabinieri turned into a high -speed pursuit, which ended with an arrest and a complaint.
According to what has been reconstructed, the patrol of the radio section had ordered the alt to a car in transit. Instead of stopping, the driver pressed on the accelerator by trying to escape north direction, seriously endangering the circulation and forcing other motorists to sudden maneuvers.
During the escape, the passenger opened the window and freed himself with two large packs wrapped in cellophane, throwing them on the roadside. Thanks to immediate communication by radio, another patrol recovered the wraps, inside which a kilogram of marijuana already packaged was found, probably intended for the local shop.
The chase ended thanks to the coordinated action of multiple crews, who blocked the vehicle and identified the two occupants. The driver was arrested for detention for drug dealing purposes, while the passenger was reported in a state of freedom for resistance to public officials. The drug was seized.
The arrested person, having finished the formalities, was transferred to the Archillà district house.
