Bags containing guns and drugs, among other items, were found in a wooded area near the Limassol suburb of Polemidia on Tuesday.

Police were called to the scene after a pistol was initially found in a bag, and further examinations found more bags full of more pistols, bullets, explosive devices and a large quantity of drugs.

As a result, an investigation has been launched with the aim of determining the items’ origin, and uncovering any potential links to criminal activity.
