Three, including a 17-year-old boy were arrested by the police when they were found to be in possession of ecstasy and suspected cocaine, a police statement read.

The boy is from Vittoriosa and the two women, 21 and 26, are from Kirkop and Fgura respectively.

The three were found to have packets of ecstasy and a white powder, suspected to be cocaine. The drugs were found in circumstances which led the police to believe they were not for personal use.

They are expected to be brought before the courts in the coming days
