3 Gozo Residents Arrested For Drug Trafficking As Police Seize €80,000 In Cash

Three Gozo residents have been arrested after a police operation discovered suspected heroin and cocaine in a Ħaż-Żabbar apartment, along with around €80,000 in cash.

The arrests followed surveillance at a block of flats in Triq taċ-Ċawla, where officers stopped a 41-year-old man and found suspected heroin and cocaine in his possession.

Police subsequently raided the flat being surveilled and arrested the other two suspects, a 71 year-old man and 57 year-old woman. Searches of the premises and the woman's vehicle uncovered several alleged drugs packets, along with the €80,000 cash.

A magisterial inquiry has been ordered, with all three suspects remaining in police custody until they appear before the Gozo court later today on charges of drug trafficking and possession.
