drugs suspect — drugs suspect — A 27-year-old man has been remanded in police custody for six days following his arrest for drug possession in Limassol. The suspect was taken into custody after police discovered 175 grams of cannabis and €1,265 during an operation aimed at tackling suspected drug trafficking in a park located in Kato Polemidia.
This operation resulted in the arrest of four other individuals, aged 17, 21, 22, and 30, who were also found with small amounts of cannabis. After providing written statements, these individuals were released but are expected to be summoned for further questioning in the future.
Subsequent searches conducted at the homes of those arrested led to the discovery of an additional 13 grams of cannabis at the residence of the 27-year-old suspect. A smaller quantity of cannabis was also seized from the home of the 22-year-old.
The Limassol district court’s decision to remand the main suspect underscores the authorities’ commitment to addressing drug-related issues in the area. As police continue to target suspected drug trafficking operations, further developments are anticipated.
