The police are investigating a 49-year-old Gozitan from Xagħra after the drug cannabis was allegedly found in his car, at his residence and in a field yesterday.
The police said the Gozo mobile squad sprang into action when they noticed a "suspicious car" in the main square of the village at about 11.30 a.m.
A body search of the driver produced nothing but they found some leaves in the car which they suspected were from the cannabis plant.
They then searched the driver's residence where they found various objects associated with drug use.
And in a field, which is adjacent to the house, they also came across five plants they suspect to be cannabis, the police said.
The man was taken away for questioning.
