Two men are being held by the police after they were allegedly found in possession of drugs.

The police last night said that the two, one aged 30 from Żejtun and the other 33 from Fgura, were stopped by a police patrol after they were observed acting suspiciously in the environs of the playing field in Patri Redent Gauci Square, Fgura, yesterday afternoon. A search was carried out and the 30-year-old man was found in posession of three sachets containing a brown powder.

A search in a car which the two men were using also produced 16 sachets containing the same powder, which the police suspect are drugs. Investigations continue.
