Five males and a female were arrested are expected to face a magistrate in connection with three drug busts in the capital.

In the first incident, officers headed to a home on New Hope Drive where they found a quantity of suspected marijuana. Three males and female were taken into custody with the find.

Later that day, officers were patrolling Mildred Avenue off Carmichael Road when they spotted a man sitting on a crate just outside a home. As they approached the man, they noticed him throwing away several items. Suspicious, the officers arrested the man.

A search revealed suspected marijuana.

Meantime, there was a similar find at a home on Geranium Avenue, Pinewood Gardens. Another man was subsequently arrested.

All the suspects are to be formally charged with the crimes.
