Twenty-one persons have been arrested after being found to be living in Malta irregularly.

The police said on Sunday that the arrests were made in St Paul's Bay and Qawra.

Another 11 persons were arrested a few days previously.

They are being held at the Detention Centre until they can be repatriated to their own countries or the countries where they hold a work permit.
