An early morning raid at a Rudolph Street, Sliema residence yesterday led to six foreigners being apprehended, with four being found without the necessary permits, the police said. The police had been tipped off about the foreigners and had to force open a door after identifying themselves.

Six Libyans were found in the apartment, two with valid documents, the other four without.

The four, aged between 24 and 29 years, are being detained for investigations by the immigration section.
