Police intercepted the suspects, a 39-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman, in their car in the Nicosia district shortly after 8pm.

In a subsequent search of the vehicle, police found 1.224 kg of cannabis and a precision scale with traces of white powder believed to be cocaine, as well as €585 in cash.

Both the man and the woman were arrested for evident offences and in a search of the 39-year-old’s residence, police found 510g of white powder believed to be cocaine, and an additional 350g of cannabis.

The Nicosia drug unit (Ykan) is continuing the investigation.
