Two Gambian men were arrested yesterday evening by the police after they were caught with drugs.

The police said that officers at the Qawra station noticed a man who was acting suspiciously in Bugibba Square.

The man was stopped by the officers who found 15 packets of cannabis and a substantial amount of cash.

They later carried out a search at his residence in St Paul’s Bay where they found items related to drug trafficking.

A 28-year-old Gambian man, who was in the residence, was also arrested.
