Members of the Police stopped the car driven by the 22-year-old for inspection on a Pafos road and during the inspection a nylon bag was found and seized, which contained a quantity of methamphetamine, weighing five grams, a precision scale, the amount of €1,710 and a five-pound note.
The 22-year-old was arrested for an offence, and a search of his home was subsequently made, pursuant to a court warrant. During the investigation, a nylon bag was found and seized, containing a quantity of three grams of cocaine, various electrical and electronic devices, cameras, paintings and other valuables, for which the 22-year-old did not give a satisfactory explanation of how they were found in his possession.
