The source added that the local police, backed by the drug-trafficking fighting unit, tried to arrest the five-meber gang while it was selling Marijuana to one of its clients, but the drug-traders opened fire on the policemen and the exchange of fire resulted in killing the client and three drug traders. Two other members of the gang were arrested, having with them 150 kg of Marijuana.
