A total of 24 people were arrested in the past three days after they were found in possession of drugs.

The police said these included eight stopped in road blocks carried out by the Drug Squad, assisted by the Rapid Intervention and the Dog Section. Seven were in possession of cannabis, cocaine and ecstasy and one, who has already been arraigned, had a large amount of cocaine.

Several road blocks were also carried out by the Gozo Police, leading to five drivers testing positive to a breathalyser test.
