A 41-year-old man was arrested Thursday night for transporting fuel in an unlicensed vehicle, police said on Friday.

The suspect was stopped for a police check at around 11:30pm on a street in Analyontas.

Inside the man’s vehicle, police found four plastic tanks and two bottles of diesel, amounting to a total weight of 4 tonnes.

The car did not have the necessary license to carry fuel, making the transport illegal.

Police proceeded to arrest the 41-year-old on this charge and seized the fuel as evidence.
