Fifty-six pills were found today on a young man who was visiting his father who is an inmate at the Forensic Unit of Mt Carmel Hospital.
The search was part of a series ordered by the Ministry of Home Affairs to stamp out drugs at the prisons.
The search was ordered by the ministry after it was informed that such searches were not regularly carried out at the Forensic Unit.
The officers found 56 Seroqual psychotropic pills. A Magisterial inquiry is being held and police investigations are continuing.
