The police seized just under one kilogramme of cocaine from an apartment in St Julians late on Thursday night.

As part of a long investigation, the police staked out an apartment in St Julians from which two men emerged on Thursday evening, the police said. The men were stopped by officers and a search of the apartment yielded the cocaine.

The two men, a 22-year-old from Pietà and a 25-year-old Italian national, were arrested.

Magistrate Michael Mallia was informed of the case.

Police investigations continue and the two men are expected to be arraigned in the coming days.
