A 39-year-old man was arrested in Limassol in a drug bust, where officers found dozens of packages of cocaine were found in his car, police said on Sunday.

Police said that the man was found with 60 packages of cocaine in his, along with a significant amount of money.

Officers from the drug squad Ykan stopped the 39-year-old man for a check, while he was driving a car in an area in Limassol, shortly before 5.00pm on Saturday. In a subsequent search, 60 packets of white solid cocaine, with a total gross weight of approximately 29.5 grams, were found in his possession, resulting in his arrest.

A search of the 39-year-old’s residence followed, pursuant to a court warrant, which had been issued, based on information obtained by police.

The amount of €3,690 was found in the 39-year-old’s residence, which, together with a sum of €125 that had earlier been found in the 39-year-old’s possession, was confiscated for examination.
