A 25-year-old man from Birkirkara has been arrested after almost a kilo of cannabis resin was found in his car, the police said this evening.

They explained that an anonymous caller had told the police that the young man had parked his Peugot in Bwieraq Street, Birkirkara. He then placed a bag in the back of the car in what were seen as being suspicious movements.

The police arrived within a short time and found the cannabis resin in the bag. The man was immediately arrested and taken to police headquarters.

Magistrate Audrey Demicoli has appointed court experts to help in an inquiry.
