Four men have been arrested after the police found some 65 kilos of cannabis grass ready for trafficking in their possession.

Some of them are being arraigned on Wednesday.

The police said some 17 kilos of cannabis grass were found hidden in a vehicle belonging to a 40-year-old Maltese man, from Qormi.

Another 47 kilos of the drug were found in a Gżira garage and in a residence in the Msida area. The police also found a haversack containing another kilo of cannabis grass, a small amount of resin and a small amount of magic mushrooms, as well as €17,000 in cash.

The police also arrested a 42-year-old Croat who lives in Gżira and two Serbs, aged 36 and 37, who live in Msida and Naxxar respectively, in connection with the find.

An inquiry is being held.
