Two men have been arrested after the discovery of heroin and cocaine in Zabbar.
The police said that acting on a tip-off about drug trafficking, they had been tailing a 27-year-old man.
When the man was stopped near Zabbar terminus, he assaulted the officers and was promptly arrested. The police found 16 packets of cocaine and nine packets of heroin in his possession. His 42-year-old brother, who was also arrested, was found in possession of drug-related items.
Investigations are continuing.
