Coordinated YKAN Operation in Nicosia: 11 kg of Cannabis Seized – 32-year-old Arrested

Members of the YKAN (Drug Squad) conducted a coordinated operation in Nicosia, leading to the arrest of a 32-year-old man. During a search of his vehicle, following the receipt of a package from a courier company, a package containing approximately 11 kilograms of cannabis was discovered. The 32-year-old was detained for immediate offense and is expected to appear before the Nicosia District Court for the issuance of a detention order. YKAN continues its investigation into the case. The operation is part of the police's efforts to combat drug trafficking in the area. The amount of cannabis seized suggests possible involvement in an organized trafficking network, which is being investigated by the authorities. The arrest of the 32-year-old and the seizure of the drugs represent a significant success for YKAN.
