Three drivers were found driving under the influence of drugs during the last three days in Paphos.
According to Pafos Assistant Police Director Michalis Ioannou, on Sunday at 18:40 members of the Pafos Traffic Police stopped a vehicle driven by a 27-year-old resident of Pafos in Paphos for control.[/B] A preliminary drug test carried out on him revealed that he had a positive reading. He then gave an additional saliva sample for final examination which after being sealed will be sent to the State General Chemistry Department for laboratory analysis. His vehicle was transported and detained at Paphos Traffic Police. A search of the driver and his vehicle did not reveal anything objectionable.
In another case on Friday, members of the Pafos Traffic Police Group Z stopped a vehicle in Paphos, the driver of which was found to be a 25-year-old moniker resident of Pafos. In a final alcohol test he had 29mg instead of 22 mg which is the permitted limit. Also because he had obvious signs and symptoms of drug use, he was asked to provide a preliminary sample for a drug screening test and was found to be positive. He then provided a second sample to be sent to the State General Laboratory for laboratory analysis. A search of his vehicle did not reveal anything illegal.
In a third case, members of the Paphos Traffic Police stopped a vehicle driven by a 19 year old resident of Paphos.[/B] In a preliminary examination for the detection of drugs, it was found that he had drugs in his saliva and gave a second sample which will be sent to the State General Chemistry Department.
In a search of his vehicle, nothing was found.
The Pafos Traffic Police in cooperation with the YKAN (Pafos Police Station) are investigating the cases.
