Police in Limassol have stopped a big drug operation. They found a large amount of illegal drugs. One person was arrested. This important police mission happened in Trachoni village. It was a joint effort between Cypriot police and British Bases police.
During the raid, officers found many drugs. They discovered over 23 kilograms of cannabis. They also found suspected cocaine and methamphetamine. The police operation took place on Wednesday. It was the result of a long investigation by the Drug Law Enforcement Unit.
Officers also took two cars. These cars were probably used for drug trafficking. The arrested man is now in jail. He will go to court soon. Police say this was a big success. It hurts criminal groups in the area. The drugs found were meant for many people. This stops a lot of harm to the community.
In Nicosia, police also arrested some people. This was for a smaller drug case. Four people were arrested after finding a small amount of cannabis. One person said he put the drugs there for money. They are now in jail for three days.
The investigation in Trachoni is still happening. Police are looking for more people involved. These two cases show different drug problems. Police are fighting big drug smugglers. They also help people with drug problems. This big drug seizure is a good result. However, the drug trade continues to change.
