Members of the Police arrested two persons, aged 27 and 28, today for the purpose of investigating a case of drug importation.
According to the data under investigation, following a relevant check carried out on a package that arrived from abroad at a post office in Cyprus, suspicions were raised that drugs were inside the package and the Anti-Narcotics Service – YKAN was informed accordingly.
This morning, the 27-year-old suspect went to a post office in Nicosia, where he presented himself as the recipient of the package. Upon receipt of the package, members of the YKAN immediately proceeded to check the suspect and arrest him for a flagrant offense, since it was found that the postal package contained a quantity of methamphetamine weighing approximately 1 kg.
Outside the post office was the second suspect, aged 28, who at the sight of the members of the Police tried to flee but did not succeed, resulting in his arrest.
The two arrested were detained while the YKAN (Nicosia Unit) continues its examinations.
