New Profile in Drug Trafficking: Two Young Men Unknown to Authorities Behind 233 kg in Strovolos

YKAN has arrested two young men, aged 30 and 26, for drug trafficking following investigations at two warehouses in Strovolos. The arrested individuals were unknown to the authorities, which worries the police as it indicates that more and more young people are becoming involved in drug trafficking. During the investigations, 233 kilograms and 500 grams of drugs were seized, as well as explosive devices, pistols, firecrackers, ammunition, and 13,500 euros in cash. YKAN reports that cannabis remains the most common form of drug use in Cyprus, but the trafficking of other substances is increasing.
