Five Held in Custody for Criminal Organization with Weapons and Drugs in Larnaca. They Do Not Cooperate with Authorities

Five of the nine arrested in Larnaca for a criminal organization dealing with weapons and drugs have been placed in 8-day custody, while the other four have been released. The suspects are not cooperating with the authorities. The YKAN believes it has dismantled a well-organized drug trafficking circuit. During the searches, 400 grams of cocaine, 150 grams of cannabis, precision scales, ten mobile phones, a pistol with a silencer, a firearm, 9,605 euros, and three vehicles were found. Investigations continue into the finances of the suspects, and the weapons have been sent for scientific examination.
