The suspicions of the members of the Paphos YCAN were aroused by a 40-year-old Jordanian, who was seen jumping from the roof of an apartment building while the authorities were on their way to search a particular apartment.
According to information from the Cyprus Times, it all started when YKAN members had secured a search warrant for an apartment in a block of flats on Eleftherios Venizelos. Approaching the apartment building, they noticed an unknown man jumping from the roof and entering an apartment in which an Egyptian woman was staying.
The police officers knocked on the door of the apartment and as a result, the man who had previously been seen leaving the roof and who, as it turned out, was a 40-year-old Jordanian man, opened the door.
YKAN members led him to the roof where they located a closed and locked box, the keys to which the 40-year-old man was in possession of.
A subsequent search inside the box revealed drugs and jewellery.
More specifically, 80 grams of crystal, 45 grams of cannabis, 5 grams of cocaine and utensils used to package drugs and a precision scale were found. Also found inside the box were jewellery and other valuables, sunglasses, banknotes from various countries and items believed to be stolen goods.
The apartment for which a warrant had been secured was also searched...
A search of the apartment for which the warrant had been secured followed, in which a 25-year-old Syrian and a 21-year-old Greek Cypriot woman were found.
In the possession of the young woman a small quantity of the chemical drug crystal was found, while in the possession of the 25-year-old Syrian the sum of money of 890 euros, believed to be from the sale of drugs, was found.
All three above were arrested and taken to the offices of the YKAN (Pafos Branch). Subsequently, the 21-year-old was released, without charge, pending scientific tests.
Under interrogation, the 25-year-old allegedly admitted that the drugs found in the box belonged to himself and the 40-year-old. The two men were arrested on the basis of court warrants and were taken into custody while the YKAN (Paphos Branch) continues its investigations.
