Six people were arrested in Limassol on Tuesday for illegally residing in Cyprus and possession of drugs, during a coordinated operation in an abandoned building following a tip off.

The police found 11 foreigners, six of whom were on the island illegally and were thus arrested.

A search of the building found a bag with 27 packages of cannabis weighing a total of 22g, as well as 29 packages with about 13g of methamphetamine.

Police investigations are ongoing.
