A 20-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday in Limassol for drug possession, following a police operation targeting suspected trafficking.
Around 7.20pm, drug squad officers, acting on information related to narcotics trafficking, arrived in a Limassol area and identified five individuals.
Three of them attempted to flee, and police apprehended one 20-year-old. During his detention, a small bag containing 30 grams of cannabis fell from his possession.
A subsequent search revealed seven nylon bags containing a total of 155 grams of cannabis, as well as €3,045 in cash and a mobile phone. The suspect was arrested on a court warrant.
A second 20-year-old found at the scene was found in possession of a small amount of cannabis and was taken in for questioning but later released without charges.
The Limassol drug squad is continuing its investigation.
