On July 9, 2026, authorities in Cyprus discovered a total of 11 kilograms of illegal substances, including 2 kilograms of cocaine and 9 kilograms of cannabis, during investigations in Limassol. The drugs were reportedly hidden in an area connected to British Bases. This operation is part of an ongoing effort by the Customs Department and the Drug Law Enforcement Agency to combat drug trafficking at the entry points of the Republic of Cyprus.
Two individuals, aged 28 and 23, were originally arrested on July 2, 2026, on charges of illegal possession of narcotics. Following the recent findings, these suspects have been re-arrested as part of the ongoing investigation into their activities. The operations conducted by authorities have raised concerns about smuggling methods, such as concealing drugs in packages labeled as "souvenirs," which were also noted during inspections at Larnaca Airport.
