Following the initial arrest, YKAN officers conducted a search of the man’s home and a second vehicle associated with him. This search yielded a further 67 grams of cocaine and around 60 grams of dried cannabis in the apartment. In the second vehicle, authorities seized approximately 116 grams of dried cannabis along with 40 grams of MDMA, commonly known as Ecstasy.
The suspect is currently in custody on suspicion of possession with intent to supply. The Limassol YKAN continues its investigation into the drug trafficking operation and the extent of the suspect’s activities.
