Police arrested three people in Larnaca after searches uncovered cannabis, cash, flares and firecrackers, while an officer sustained a minor hand injury.
Larnaca, Cyprus. Three people were arrested during a police operation targeting drug-related offences in Larnaca, where officers seized about one kilogram of cannabis, cash and other items.
House search
Police searched the home of a 32-year-old man on Wednesday evening and found his 23-year-old male relative in a room with four firecrackers, two flares and €13,250 in cash.
The items and cash were seized, and the 23-year-old was arrested.
The 32-year-old was not at the property at the time. Police said a relative contacted him in their presence and asked him to return, but he said he was unable to do so.
Field operation
While officers were searching a field belonging to the 32-year-old, a 31-year-old man arrived by car.
Police signalled for the vehicle to stop, but the driver allegedly attempted to leave the area and collided with three police vehicles before being stopped.
One officer sustained a minor hand injury and was taken to Larnaca General Hospital before being discharged.
Police arrested the 31-year-old and said they found 24 grams of cannabis, a grinder containing cannabis traces, a precision scale and €100 in cash in his possession.
Cannabis seizure
The 32-year-old later arrived at the field. During a search of the area, police found a cool box containing five packages of cannabis with a total weight of 910 grams, along with various other items.
Police said the investigation is ongoing.
