Police seize 1kg of cannabis and arrest three in Lefkoşa and Girne

Police operations conducted by the Narcotics and Anti-Smuggling Directorate in Lefkoşa and Girne resulted in the seizure of approximately 1 kilogram of cannabis and the arrest of three individuals.

In Girne, two suspects, aged 25 and 22, were apprehended following an operation where officers recovered about 1 kilogram of cannabis and a precision scale containing drug residue. In Lefkoşa, a 27-year-old individual was arrested after approximately 10 grams of cannabis were discovered during a search of their person and residence.

Additionally, authorities in Esentepe arrested a 46-year-old individual for fraud involving a construction company. The suspect allegedly used falsified digital timekeeping records to secure 456,800 TL and subsequently deceived colleagues into handing over the funds under the guise of correcting company errors.

Separate enforcement actions under the ‘Safe School Project’ led to legal proceedings against two individuals in Gazimağusa and Lefke for selling tobacco products to minors.
