An Adelaide barber is behind bars on remand after being arrested over alleged drug dealing – with police also seizing loaded guns during a raid.
Putu Gino Pacino, who shows off his flashy cars and lifestyle on social media, was arrested on Wednesday after police visited a Murray St business in Gawler.
Detectives from the Youth and Street Gangs Task Force visited the business in relation to alleged firearms offences and conducted a search.
Detectives allegedly uncovered a loaded .22 handgun, a loaded 9mm pistol, ammunition and about 250g of suspected cocaine.
According to SA Police, detectives also found $73,900 in cash, drug paraphernalia and other weapons.
According to court documents released to The Advertiser, Mr Pacino – who owns Dimentico Barbers on Murray St – is charged with commercial drug trafficking, money laundering, and firearms offences.
The 23-year-old, who used to live in Gawler South but now resides in Port Noarlunga, was allegedly in possession of a firearm that did not have the required identifying marks and an amount of ammunition.
He is yet to enter any pleas.
The father of one also runs streetwear brand Dimentico Streetwear from his Gawler barber and shows off luxury cars inside his garage on his TikTok.
On Thursday, Magistrate Edward Stratton-Smith ordered a report to assess Mr Pacino’s suitability for bail during his appearance from the Elizabeth Magistrates Court cells.
Mr Pacino was remanded in custody to continue his application for bail later this month.
Mr Pacino is a successful businessman and gambling enthusiast who welcomed his first son in December.
This year, he partnered with Vegastars – Australia’s “premier online casino” – through a separate Instagram account.
In a video posted to his Instagram, Pacino encouraged his followers to create a new Vegastars account by using his unique sign-up link to go in the running to win an iPhone 17.
Pacino has also showed off hundred thousand dollar additions to his private garage on TikTok last year.
The videos included a luxury Mercedes, top of the line Ford and Harley Davidson muscle bike.
The Advertiser’s independent research concluded at the lowest estimate the vehicles could have cost Pacino $296,196 AUD.
According to the Ford Australia official website, the Ranger Raptor 2025 model had an estimated drive away cost of $97,971.
According to the Mercedes Benz Australia official website, a new 2025 AMG C63 SE Performance sedan costs $178,225.91.
In March, the Adelaide Magistrates Court heard he was the victim of an alleged machete attack in Gawler near his barber shop.
