Upon conducting a search of the storage compartment beneath the seat, officers made the significant find of two small bags containing 18 pouches of cannabis, weighing a total of 78 grams, along with a three-gram pouch of cocaine and a precision scale.
The young man was subsequently taken into custody and transported to the Larnaca Drug Enforcement Unit (YKAN) headquarters. He is being investigated for drug possession and possession with intent to supply.
