Recent arrests in Cyprus involve drug trafficking and theft

Cypriot police have conducted several operations between July 21 and July 25, 2026, leading to multiple arrests across the country for drug-related offenses and theft. In one major operation, authorities arrested three men aged 50, 42, and 29 for methamphetamine trafficking; 150 grams of the substance were seized during a coordinated interception in the Paphos, Limassol, and Larnaca districts. Separately, a 47-year-old man was arrested in western Limassol after being found with over 60 grams of crystal methamphetamine; he has been remanded for five days.

In another incident in Larnaca, police arrested two 34-year-old men following a high-speed chase that ended when their vehicle crashed into a ditch. Officers discovered approximately 1.57 kilograms of cocaine inside the car, leading to an eight-day detention order issued by the Larnaca District Court. Additionally, local authorities are seeking 24-year-old Kyrillos Zoria Lambrou regarding a theft committed on July 18 in Nicosia. Investigations into these cases remain ongoing, with further legal proceedings expected as the suspects appear before the judicial authorities.
