Two arrested in Limassol following seizure of drugs and cash

On October 9, 2026, authorities in Limassol, Cyprus, arrested a 26-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman during a raid on their apartment. The operation was conducted by members of the drug enforcement units YKAN and YDAP following the collection and evaluation of intelligence regarding illegal drug activities.

During the search, officers recovered approximately 1.137 kilograms of cannabis, 50 grams of cocaine, and 95 grams of cannabis resin, alongside a precision scale, three mobile phones, and €2,870 in cash. While one source initially reported the discovery of only one kilogram of cannabis, more detailed police reports confirmed the wider range of controlled substances and equipment. The suspects are facing charges related to illegal drug possession, intent to supply, and money laundering.

The suspects remain in police custody following their formal arrest under judicial warrants. They are scheduled to appear before the Limassol District Court tomorrow morning to face further legal proceedings.
