Four men and a woman, all foreigners, were arrested by the police in what the corps described as an operation to break a drug trafficking ring.

The five were arrested in the past hours in connection with the importation and trafficking of drugs after weeks of investigation, the police said Tuesday.

Last Sunday, the police seized seven kilogrammes of cocaine from a car in Zabbar. Investigations in residences in Zabbar and Marsascala yielded more cocaine, six kilogrammes of cannabis, firearms, ammunition, apparatus linked with drug trafficking, a machine that counts money and a substantial amount of cash. False documents were also located.

Those arrested as a 36-year-old man and 22-year-old woman of Serbia, a 34-year-old man from Croatia, a 54-year-old man from Macedonia and a 37-year-old man from Italy.

All are set to be arraigned and charged with several offences.
