A 42-year-old Egyptian was last night arrested after he was allegedly caught in possession of a cigarette packet full of cannabis.

Sources said the man was stopped by the Mobile Squad when a patrol noticed that his Daihatsu Terios' lights were not functioning at about 8.30 p.m. in Paceville, next to Pender Place.

However, the police noticed that he was agitated. A search of the Terios yielded blocks of cannabis tucked into a cigarette packet.

Investigations are under way by the Drug Squad.
