## In brief

- Four individuals have been arrested following a police operation targeting the illegal sale of steroids and peptides.
- Over 2,100 units of illicit substances and approximately €8,000 in cash were seized during searches.
- The police operation involved searches in multiple localities, including Marsa, Msida, Żejtun, Qormi, and Marsaskala.

Police have arrested four people in connection with the alleged illegal sale of peptides, steroids, and other illicit substances across several Maltese localities. The arrests followed a comprehensive operation by law enforcement.

Searches were conducted in Marsa, Msida, Żejtun, Qormi, and Marsaskala. During these searches, officers seized more than 2,100 units of the suspected illegal substances.

In addition to the substances, approximately €8,000 in cash, believed to be proceeds from the illegal sales, was also confiscated by the police.

The individuals arrested are now facing charges related to the alleged trafficking and sale of these illicit substances. Further investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of the operation.
