Four people are being held under arrest following two raids in Ħamrun over the past days when heroin was found, the police said.

The most recent find was on Monday in Atocia Street during a raid that followed a tip-off about trafficking from an apartment. A 27-year-old resident was held together with a 25-year-old man, also from Ħamrun.

The second case took place on Sunday close to St Paul Square. The two residents arrested, aged 36 and 40 years, were known to police.
