Four arrested in Gzira drug bust

Four men were arrested on Monday after the police raided a garage in Gzira and found a substantial amount of cannabis and other objects related to drug trafficking.  

The operation was carried out early in the afternoon at a Gzria garage, that had been under observation due to suspicion, that it was being used for drug trafficking.

Anti-drug squad members raided the building at around 3:15pm at Triq Giacinto Tua, which resulted in the arrest of four men. At the garage, police found a substantial amount of cannabis and other objects related to drug trafficking.

TVM reported that sources close to the media house had said the police raid was carried out following multiple days of observation, which mounted due to a suspicion that the premises were being used for trafficking and possible drug abuse. During the operation, the police closed the road as they immediately entered the garage, where they suspected the activity was being carried out.  

It was also reported that the police operation continued with a search of a BMW, which found a substantial amount of bags, suspected to be cannabis.

A magisterial inquiry is underway, as well as a police investigation.
