Three Arrested After More Than 1.5 Kilos of Cannabis Seized in Larnaca

Police arrested three people after seizing more than a kilo and a half of cannabis during coordinated searches in Larnaca, authorities said Sunday.

The Drug Law Enforcement Unit (YKAN) detained two 21‑year‑old men and a 45‑year‑old woman following the discovery of cannabis in her car and home.

Officers first searched the woman’s vehicle, parked outside her residence, and found two plastic bags containing roughly 1.1 kilograms of cannabis.

A subsequent search of the home she shares with one of the 21‑year‑olds uncovered additional quantities: about 414 grams of cannabis in several packages, another 14 grams inside a box, and a precision scale.

Police said they also recovered two plastic bags containing about 60 grams of cannabis from a bin outside the residence. The second 21‑year‑old had earlier been seen throwing them away.

All three suspects were arrested and brought before the Larnaca District Court on Monday, which ordered them held for eight days as the investigation continues.
