Cops in Genoa, Italy, were stumped by a drug-trafficking case in their city, BNN reported -- that is, until they noticed a large number of bald and beardless men visiting a local barbershop.

Investigators initiated surveillance and searched the shop, where they found 100 grams of cocaine, precision scales and packaging materials. They also found hashish at the barber's home and evidence of ongoing communication with inmates in a Genoa prison.

The 55-year-old barber is awaiting sentencing at the Marassi prison. [BNN, 12/1/2023]
