Catania man arrested in San Berillio district for marijuana trafficking
Explain to me briefly the following article:
The State Police arrested a 28-year-old Gambian caught in the act for possession with intent to distribute a substance of the marijuana type. Specifically, in recent days, the attention of the personnel of the Foreign Crime and Prostitution section of the local Mobile Squad, during a routine service aimed at containing and repressing phenomena of widespread criminality and illicit distribution of drugs, was drawn to a young non-EU citizen who was standing leaning against the wall of a house, on the outskirts of the San Berillo Vecchio district in Catania.
The man, after realizing he was being watched by the police, fled to avoid checks. Given the suspicious behavior, the officers decided to take action and identified the individual: a twenty-eight-year-old of Gambian origin.
The man was searched and inside his backpack a bag of marijuana weighing approximately 85 grams was found and seized, and inside his wallet the sum of 175 euros, divided into small denomination banknotes, of which he could not provide an explanation for the origin.
The man was arrested for the crime of drug possession for the purpose of trafficking and handed over to the duty prosecutor, promptly informed of the incident. In the meantime, the Scientific Police of Catania will conduct the analysis.
