Caught with suspicion of trying to traffic drugs in main Gozo square

Two men were arrested on Thursday on suspicion of drug trafficking in one of Gozo's main squares. The police said a 29-year-old Italian national who lives in Marsalforn and a 45-year-old Gozitan from Fontana were caught allegedly trafficking drugs in St Francis Square in Victoria. The Gozitan was found in possession of heroin packets intended for trafficking and a search at his house later yielded more drugs-related material.  The 29-year-old was caught in possession of cannabis but another police raid at his home also found other material related to drug cultivation, the police said.  The police are expected to arraign the two men in the coming days.
