A 28-year-old man was arrested in Famagusta after illegal drugs were found at his home and is expected to appear in court on Wednesday, police said.

The operation was carried out by the drugs unit (Ykan) after a tip off. Officers from the crime prevention unit also took part in the search, which was authorised by a court warrant.

Inside the house, officers found about 100g of cannabis in a large plastic bag. They also discovered eight smaller bags, each containing around four grams of cannabis, and one bag with roughly half a gram of cocaine.

Police also seized a plastic bag containing crushed MDMA tablets, a precision scale with cannabis traces, and two joints.

The 28-year-old suspect was arrested on Tuesday night on the spot for a drug-related offence.

The finding of a precision scale suggests possible weighing and packaging activity, which may point to dealing. Police say investigations are ongoing and further arrests have not been ruled out.
