26-year-old woman arrested in Sliema drug bust

 A 26-year-old German woman has been arrested over the alleged trafficking of drugs. 

Police said that investigations started after customs flagged a package which contained four jars of a substance suspected of being cannabis.

The package was sent to the woman’s address. 

The arrest was carried out on Tuesday afternoon, at her apartment in Sliema. 

Following the arrest, police found six more jars containing cannabis, objects used for the consumption of drugs and around €8,000 in undeclared cash.
