A British couple and a Maltese man are under arrest after a search yielded packets of cannabis and an ecstasy pill, the police said.

Policemen had been monitoring an apartment in Qawra from where a Maltese man was seen coming out yesterday. He was searched and found to be in possession of a cannabis packet, which he had just bought.

The apartment was then searched and the residents, Britons aged 41 and 37, were arrested after 74 packets of cannabis packets and the ecstasy pill were found.

All three are to be arraigned in the coming days.

Magistrate Francesco Depasquale is leading an inquiry.
