Vigilant observer leads to drug suspect's arrest

The police are holding a 25-year-old man from Birkirkara who was allegedly found in possession of cannabis resin weighing one kilogram at his hometown yesterday morning.

Police officers from the Drugs Squad went to Bwieraq Street to investigate after an anonymous caller informed the police that a young man, who arrived in that street in a Peugeot car, was observed placing a basket in the boot of the car.

The police said this made the caller suspicious and asked the police to check.

Drug Squad officers, who arrived on the spot moments later, kept the car under surveillance and apprehended the man as he approached the Peugeot later.

The basket, which the police allege contained cannabis resin, was allegedly found in the car boot during a search.

The man was taken to police headquarters in Floriana.

Magistrate Audrey Demicoli launched an inquiry with the help of court experts.

Police investigations continue.
