YKAN (Cyprus Drug and Narcotics Unit) arrested a 28-year-old resident of Limassol for illegal possession of drugs, specifically cocaine (9 grams) and cannabis (102 grams). The young man was arrested while preparing to get into his car after being observed searching in an area with wild vegetation. During the search, cocaine was found in his shoulder bag and cannabis hidden in the area he had examined. A precision scale, over €900 in cash, and other items were also found in the car. A search was also conducted in his home, but no incriminating evidence was found. The 28-year-old was remanded in custody by a court warrant, while YKAN continues its investigation into the case.
