Police have seized 30 kilograms of drugs in an ongoing major operation in Paphos, with two suspects arrested as investigations continue into a suspected trafficking ring.
The operation, conducted by the Drug Law Enforcement Unit (YKAN) with support from Nicosia police forces, followed recent intelligence gathering. Officers intercepted a vehicle under surveillance in western Paphos, arresting two.
An initial search of the vehicle revealed four kilograms of cannabis. A subsequent raid at a property belonging to one of the suspects in Peyia uncovered an additional quantity exceeding 26 kilograms.
The suspects were arrested under judicial warrants and are being held in custody. They are expected to appear before Paphos District Court tomorrow for remand orders.
Officials say this is one of the largest drug seizures in the Paphos district in recent years, indicating the likely involvement of a major trafficking network.
The investigation is continuing, including searches in areas outside Paphos.
