Two men were arrested separately by the police for alleged drug dealing over the weekend.

The police yesterday said that on Friday, a 27-year-old man from Valletta was seen acting suspiciously as he was leaving a bar in Paceville.

When searched by the Drugs Squad, he was found to be in possession of cocaine sachets and ecstasy pills. Pills were later also found in his home.

Yesterday, a 35-year-old taxi driver from Birkirkara was seen throwing some packets away when he saw the police nearby. They turned out to contain cocaine.

The two men are expected to be arraigned in the coming days.
