Police patrol arrests man over suspected drug trafficking
He was seen acting suspiciously near a St Julian's car park
A 28-year-old man is under arrest for suspected trafficking of cocaine and cannabis.
The police said the arrest was made late on Saturday in St Julian's.
A police patrol noted that the man was acting suspiciously, searching the grass alongside a car park and picking up something which he immediately hid under his vest.
He acted even more suspiciously when the officers surprised him. A search revealed that he was carrying a bag bag with 38 drug sachets.
A search of the grass where the man was first noticed revealed more drug sachets. Cash and drug-related items were found at his home.
The man is expected to be arraigned in the coming days.
