The police have arrested five people after finding them in possession of drugs yesterday.

The police said this afternoon that the first arrest was made in Zabbar in late morning following a tip off that a 23-year-old-man was trafficking drugs. The man was found to be carrying €800 in cash. Drugs were found at his home.

Another four arrests were made during a rave party at a band club in Zejtun. The four were found to be in possession of ecstasy, cocaine and cannabis resin.

The youngest, a 16-year-old from Birzebbuga, carried 31 ecstasy pills. He tried to enter the party using another person’s Identity Card.

The five are expected to be arraigned in the coming days.
