Larnaca was the center of a big drug investigation. The police caught several people. There was also a dangerous car chase. Sadly, two police officers were hurt. The Drug Law Enforcement Unit (YKAN) organized this operation. They found many illegal drugs. This shows the difficulty of fighting drug trafficking.
The events happened over the weekend. YKAN officers tried to stop a car. The driver was a 23-year-old man. He did not stop. A 22-year-old man nearby was arrested. However, the driver tried to escape. This started a fast car chase. The driver crashed into police cars. Two officers were injured. We do not know how badly they are hurt. This shows the dangers police face.
After the chase, police found something important. They found about one kilogram of cannabis. It was hidden in a package. This is a big problem for drug sellers. The investigation grew. Police arrested two more people. A 23-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman were arrested. They had court orders. They are accused of having drugs.
Police also searched a house. They found a small amount of cannabis there. This suggests the drug operation is complicated. The 22-year-old man is still in custody. The investigation is continuing.
The Larnaca Court ordered the suspects to stay in jail. The two people arrested later will stay for seven days. The 22-year-old man will stay for eight days. This helps police gather more information. They want to find everyone involved. This event reminds us of drug dangers. It also shows police are working hard to keep us safe.
