Drug trafficker caught red handed
A man and two women have been arrested by the police following drug raids in Gzira on Monday afternoon.
The police said they had received a tip-off about drug trafficking from a residence in Ponsomby Street. They kept the place under surveillance for some time and then raided the property and caught a 31-year-old man red-handed as he was preparing heroin for trafficking. 31 drug packets were found. The man was previously known to the police.
The officers also arrested the man's 29-year-old girlfriend and another woman, aged 22, who live near by.
The man is expected to be taken to court and accused of drug possession and trafficking, while the women will be accused of possession.
A magisterial inquiry is under way.

Protect the law-abiding public from such criminals.
Why is he out after being already caught red-handed burglaing residence at Mdina? To do more raids to pay his defence lawyers while his and his partner's victims remain uncolsoled after trauma of having their residence broken into and having their precious items , priceless in sentimental value lost to these culprits?
Get them back behind bars. Society needs to be protected from such scum.

BlaBla Bla......They have not even been charged in court yet!! The magisterial inquiry is still under way.
What will you be demanding next? That the police tell you in advance who they will be arresting?

prosit lil pulizija ta qabda li ghamlu, imma jien nixtieq kif perswas li jixtiequ hafna bormlizi li l-pulizija ta' bormla jaghmlu l-istess fi triq Abram Gatt u Pjazza Gavino Gulia ghax iktar facli tixtri droga milli tixtri l-halib f'dawn l postijiet.
Kulhadd jaf bihom dawn n-nies u l-postijiet barra l-pulizija........

Very good !! Now they will be taken to court and released with a suspended jail sentence and some minor fines. Then off again to the heroin and the packets... to make up for the lost time. .... this time with a vengeance. Sublime !
