Man arrested in Nicosia with drugs, ecstasy and cocaine

Officers from Cyprus' Drug Law Enforcement Unit arrested a 31-year-old man in Nicosia following the verification of operational information. During searches, police discovered narcotic substances, ecstasy tablets and equipment related to their storage and use.

According to the law enforcement authorities, the suspect's vehicle was searched first, followed by his residence in the Nicosia area. As a result, about 135 grams of plant material, believed to be cannabis, a transparent package containing six ecstasy tablets and approximately three grams of cocaine were seized.

In addition, police found three grinders with traces of cannabis, electronic scales, an electronic cigarette containing cannabis, cash and other items of interest to the investigation.

The 31-year-old man was initially detained at the scene on suspicion of offences related to the possession and trafficking of drugs. He was later rearrested pursuant to a court warrant.

The suspect is expected to appear before the Nicosia District Court in the near future, where the issue of his remand in custody will be considered.
