Weeks of surveillance have led a massive haul of cannabis plants, with two Maltese men expected to be arraigned in the coming hours.

Police said that the Drug Squad arrested the men – aged 22 and 34 from Cospicua – after 130 kg of the plants were found in a garage in Żejtun.

An inquiry was opened by duty magistrate Natasha Galea Sciberras, while police investigations are still under way.
