A substantial amount of cash was also found at the same garage, alongside iron bars, knives, mobile phones, CCTV cameras, and other objects associated with drug trafficking.
Simultaneously, the Police also addressed irregular immigration and conducted various checks on different streets, where 67 individuals illegally residing in Malta were arrested.
These people were taken to a detention centre and immediate steps were taken to repatriate them to their country of origin or a country where they can legally seek asylum.
In addition, there were also arrests related to prostitution – in fact €4,600 in cash was confiscated.
