A 42-year-old Egyptian was arrested tonight after he was allegedly caught in possession of a cigarette packet full of cannabis.

Sources said the man was stopped in Paceville by the Mobile Squad when a patrol noticed that his Daihatsu Terios' lights were not according to law.

The policemen noticed that he was agitated and became suspicious.

A search of the car yielded the cannabis tucked into a cigarette packet.

Investigations are underway by the Drugs Squad.
