Italian police said on Friday (March 28) they had dismantled one of the country's largest illegal methamphetamine labs, arresting a university student they described as a fan of the series "Breaking Bad," A2 CNN reports.

This series shows the transformation of a high school teacher who uses his knowledge to produce and sell methamphetamine, also known as crystal meth, to provide money for his family after being diagnosed with cancer.
