St Julian’s noise complaint leads to drug bust

A noise complaint has led to the arrest of three Spanish nationals after police found drugs in their apartment. 

The men, all aged 23, were found in possession of cannabis grass, cannabis resin and ecstasy pills. 

Police said that around 4:15am, police received complaints of noise coming from an apartment in Triq il-Mensija, St Julian’s. 

Upon arriving at the apartment, police instructed the youths to go downstairs, but they refused. With the help of neighbours, police were able to enter the building and go the apartment in question.

A search in the apartment yielded the substances suspected of being drugs. The three were arrested and held at the Police Headquarters in Floriana. Police investigations are ongoing.
