The Malta Police Force conducted inspections in several locations in Ħaz-Żabbar in relation to drugs, which resulted in the arrest of three individuals, including two men and a woman.
The first arrest was made at a residence in Triq Santa Marija where the police discovered several capsules containing cocaine, with a street value of approximately €8,000, along with a bag of cannabis, suspected to be for trafficking. A 25-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman were taken into custody from this location.
The second arrest was made at a residence in Triq Santa Klara, where the police discovered an excessive amount of cannabis plants, along with cannabis herb ready for use, which exceeded the legal limit for possession. A 20-year-old man from Wied il-Għajn was taken into custody for drug trafficking.
While another search was conducted at an establishment in Triq ix-Xgħaira, it produced no results.
The three arrested individuals are currently being held in the Floriana lock-up for further investigation, and they are expected to be brought to court in the coming days. Meanwhile, investigations are still ongoing.
