The arrest of two persons, suspects in connection with an investigated case of drug trafficking, proceeded yesterday in the district of Larnaka by the Police and specifically the Anti-Narcotics Service – YKAN.
The two suspects, aged 44 and 17, were arrested for flagrant offences after a quantity of cannabis, weighing approximately six (6) kilos, was found in the car in which they were travelling in an area of Larnaka.
