The police have arrested two men after finding them in possession of drugs in Qormi.

Officers were called to a bar at 11 p.m. yesterday because of loud music and the presence of people whose actions raised suspicion.

When they arrived, a 28-year-old man was seen throwing away a packet suspected of containing drugs. An inspection of the shop turned up another two packets thought to be drugs and other drug-related material.

A search of a car belonging to a 19-year-old man revealed more drugs, the police said.

Similar discoveries were made when a search was made in a garage in St Edward Street, Qormi.

The police said the two men were immediately arrested. Further investigations are being made by the Drugs Squad.
