A 43-year-old man from Rabat, Gozo has been arrested during an operation conducted by the Malta Police Force’s Anti-Drug Squad following a number of reports regarding possible drug trafficking.
The police found a number of substances suspected to be cocaine and cannabis, €53,000 in cash, two rifles and ammunition, with the weapons not being licensed. Officials within the Malta Police Force began observations in Nadur after reports of possible drug trafficking during the carnival celebrations.
On Thursday, the police surrounded the suspect’s farm and arrested the individual, who was reportedly armed with a pistol.
Magistrate Simone Grech opened an inquiry into the matter, assisted by a number of experts.
