Police arrested four people in connection with the discovery of 21 kilos of drugs, suspected to be cannabis, with a street value of €420,000.
At around 6pm on Tuesday, police from the Anti-Drug Squad surrounded a van in Floriana in which there were two men, a 47-year-old Maltese from Senglea and an 32-year-old Italian
living in St Paul’s Bay. From a search of the van, two sealed boxes were found, one in a fridge and one in a chest freezer, and as soon as the police opened them they found 20 packages with a substance most likely to be cannabis.
The police operation continued with a search in garage and a house in St Paul’s Bay.
Two other Italian men tried to avoid arrest but were apprehended. Further searches uncovered more drugs in the van and inside the house.
