The seizure of 3.5kg of cannabis and the arrest of a 36-year-old man, in whose possession the quantity of drugs was found, as well as a large sum of money, were made by members of the police.
Shortly before 8.00 yesterday evening, following a tip-off, members of the Anti-Narcotics Service - YKAN, in cooperation with members of the Headquarters Traffic Police, stopped the car driven by the 36-year-old suspect on the Nicosia-Lemesos motorway, at a point near the monastery. In the suspect's vehicle, YKAN members found three nylon packages containing a total of around three and a half kilos of dry green cannabis, the sum of money of 9,485 euros, as well as three mobile phones.
Members of the YKAN proceeded to arrest the 36-year-old suspect, for self-incriminating offences, while the suspect was subsequently arrested on a court warrant. He was taken into custody for the purposes of police investigations in connection with a case of possession of drugs with intent to supply to another person and money laundering.
The case is being investigated by the YKAN's Limassol Branch.
