Members of the Anti-Narcotics Service (Larnaca Unit), proceeded to arrest two young persons yesterday as part of an investigation into a drug possession case.
Their arrest was preceded by a search yesterday in the afternoon at a guesthouse located in the Larnaca district.
When the police members entered the mentioned guesthouse, a young person aged 26 years, fled trying to escape, but managed to stop him at a nearby distance.
The 26-year-old, while fleeing, dropped to the ground a piece of a nylon bag containing 31 packets containing approximately 20 grams of white powder believed to be cocaine.
A second young person in the premises, aged 21 years, was also searched, in whose possession approximately 17 grams of cannabis were found.
Both persons were arrested for offences of their own accord and were taken into custody to facilitate interrogations.
The YKAN (Larnaca Branch) is continuing its investigations.
