A 19-year-old Italian high-school
student was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of selling drugs on
a university campus in southern Italy.
The young man was arrested along with the 49-year-old
nightwatchman at the university, in Bari, for distribution of
hashish.
The pair were caught red-handed in separate operations, police
said.
The student was found with eight doses of hashish, a precision
scale and 950 euros in cash, believed to be the profits from his
pushing activities.
A later search of his home turned up a bar of hashish weighing
50 grammes hidden in a clarinet and another 12 does of the drug,
as well as material for packaging it, kept in a backpack in his
room.
The nightwatchman was found with a dose of hashish hidden in his
cellphone cover and 45 euros in cash.
A search of his work station later turned up more drugs and
material for packing it.
