Around 70 grams of suspected mephedrone and 40 grams of suspected cocaine have been found in circumstances that indicate they were about to be trafficked, the police said.

The substances were in a number of plastic bags and were found early today in a garage in Zejtun after weeks of investigation.

The owner of the garage, a 24-year old resident of Zejtun is helping with the investigations and is expected to be arraigned shortly.

This was the second drug find in Zejtun after cocaine and heroin were found on 30 September.
