The Security Police Police arrested a young man for the crime of drug trafficking on Sunday night (31) in Jardim da Sereia, in Coimbra. Officers went to the location following complaints of an episode of disorder involving several individuals.

The man, carrying drugs, when he saw the police vehicle, “ran to a bench there, threw a small object on the floor and sat down next to the other individuals who were on the bench”, the PSP said in a statement. . It was there that he was asked by the police if he was carrying anything illegal. He denied it, but the agents, when checking the object he had thrown moments before, realized that it was hashish.

After analysis, it was proven that it was hashish in sufficient quantity for 40 doses.
