A man and woman from Valletta are expected to be arraigned in court tomorrow charged with trafficking cocaine and heroin.

The police said this afternoon that the couple - a 30-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman, were arrested last night following weeks of observation by the Drug Squad.

They were found in possession of several satchets containing white and brown power, allegedly cocaine and heroin. The satchets were ready for trafficking.

The police said an electronic scale and other items related to trafficking, as well as cash most likely derived from trafficking, were also found in their possession.
