A 23 year old man was arrested in Valletta in connection to drug trafficking – specifically cannabis.

Last Thursday, at around 1600hrs, as police were conducting a patrol in Triq Melita, a vehicle was noticed against the direction of traffic and was thus stopped to issue a fine.

At that moment the driver raised suspicion that he was in possession of something illegal.

A search revealed that the man was in possession of 90 grams suspected to be cannabis as well as an amount of money in cash.

The man was arrested and was taken to the police station for more investigations. An inquiry has been opened and investigations are ongoing.

The man is meanwhile being kept at the Floriana general headquarters and is expected to be taken to court today at around 1030hrs.
