CYPOL proceeded with the arrest of a 40-year-old man and the seizure of 550 grams of cocaine, following a coordinated operation in the province of Nicosia. The man had received a postal parcel containing the cocaine, which was carefully hidden inside dietary supplement preparations. The arrest was made when CYPOL members intercepted the 40-year-old shortly after receiving the parcel from a courier company. The man was detained for investigation of a case of drug import and trafficking. A court warrant was issued against him for offenses such as illegal drug import, illegal possession for the purpose of supplying another person, and conspiracy to commit a felony. The case is being investigated by CYPOL (Nicosia Provincial Branch).
