Three men were arrested in Kirkop on Tuesday after they were found in possession of a considerable amount of drugs. They are expected to be arraigned in court on Thursday.

The police said the men - two Libyans and a Maltese - aged between 25 and 40, were stopped as soon as the drugs were being sold. A total 1.5 kilos of cocaine and €64,000 in cash were found in the car they were in.

Duty magistrate Doreen Clarke is holding an inquiry.
