Four persons were arrested in the morning, as part of a coordinated operation by the ICF of Nicosia, in cooperation with the Nicosia OPE and the Police Dogs Branch, for the execution of judicial search warrants in six houses.
During the operation, members of the Police proceeded to arrest four persons for offenses such as illegal possession of drugs and property, illegal possession of killed wild birds, public insult and interference in a police investigation, as well as for unpaid fine warrants.
Specifically, during a search of the 42-year-old man's home, an amount of €32,500 was located and confiscated, for which he did not give sufficient explanations as to how it came into his possession.

The case is being investigated by the Pera Chorio Police Station, in cooperation with the Game Service.
