Two men aged 75 and 41, and a 57-year-old woman were arrested after intensive investigations into alleged drug trafficking was conducted in Gozo.

They are presently facing charges related to trafficking and possessing heroin and cocaine.

During surveillance conducted on Tuesday, the police observed the 41-year-old man leaving a block of apartments on Triq taċ-Ċawla in Victoria.

He was subsequently stopped and arrested, after a search revealed he was in possession of two packets containing substances suspected to be heroin and cocaine, the police said.

Acting on information that drugs were allegedly being sold from one of the apartments, the police entered the unit, where they arrested the other man and the woman.

During searches of the premises and the woman’s vehicle, the police discovered several packets containing substances suspected to be heroin and cocaine, and around €80,000 in cash.

Magistrate Jean Paul Grech LL.D. was informed of the case and has ordered an inquiry, supported by a team of appointed experts.

The three individuals are being held in custody and are expected to be arraigned in the Gozo Court, at around 2:00pm on Wednesday, before Grech.
