Two men are under arrest for having separately imported drugs and used an Mgarr house to manufacture synthetic drugs and other illegal substances such as GHB.

The police said that in the first case, a 25-year-old man from Bosnia was arrested at the airport after officers found eight kilos of suspected cannabis in his luggage. 

His bag was searched by Customs officers after he acted suspiciously during routine checks on passengers arriving from Bacellona. They found seven packets of the substance.
