Large Drug and Weapons Haul in Nicosia

The Cyprus Police and the Drug Squad (YKAN) conducted an operation in two house warehouses in Strovolos, where a large amount of drugs, weapons, and explosives were found. So far, over 150 kilograms of cannabis and 50 kilograms of cocaine have been counted, with the counting continuing. Additionally, firecrackers, pistols (one of which was a replica), improvised explosive devices, ammunition, and €12,765 in cash were seized. Two individuals, aged 34 and 26, were arrested to assist with the investigation. The case is considered particularly serious due to the amount of drugs and weapons found.
