The Drug Squad arrested two men in a cocaine bust in Mellieħa on Saturday afternoon.
The police said yesterday that they were keeping an apartment under observation and saw a man leaving. On being stopped by the police, he was seen throwing away a packet which turned out to contain drugs.
The 30-year-old man from Naxxar also had €7,700 and clandestine lotto papers in his possession.
The apartment was later searched in the presence of its owner, a 39-year-old man from Ħamrun.
More than 100 grammes of cocaine in eight-and-a-half capsules were found together with more cash and weighing scales.
The two men are expected to be arraigned in the coming days.
