Large Drug Bust in Strovolos: Police Seek Masterminds

The Drug Enforcement Unit (YKAN) seized approximately 230,000 doses of drugs in an operation in Strovolos, arresting two individuals. YKAN Commander Christos Andreou stated that the arrested individuals are not considered the "masterminds" of the network and that investigations are continuing to locate other involved parties. Additionally, weapons and firecrackers were seized, and investigations are underway to determine the origin and destination of the drugs. The case appears to be linked to organized crime.
