In Italy, police found this remote-controlled secret compartment — another high-tech hideaway — behind a wall-mounted television in the home of a drug trafficker. In order to unlock it, a special plug had to be pushed into a custom built electrical socket and then the right button on a remote control device pushed. When it was done right, a mechanical drawer emerged from behind a bracket for a wall-mounted TV. The compartment was about the size of an air conditioning unit and would be hidden by the TV when it was in place.
Inside police found a 38-calibre Smith & Wesson pistol, ammunition, cocaine, hashish, marijuana and money. It’s the expected trilogy of drug trafficking: drugs, guns and money. A 26-year-old man from a town near Naples was arrested.
Police in Italy are finding more and more of these high-tech hideaways in cars, houses, boats and trucks. It seems some mechanics or handymen are making money, as well as the drug dealers.
