Three drug suspects arrested

Three men caught in what appeared to police to be a drug deal were remanded for eight days on Monday by Larnaca District court.

Officers said they spotted two men in a car, aged 35 and 33 being approached by a 30-year-old man from Larnaca who walked towards the vehicle.

The 33-year-old spotted the officers and ran away.

He was eventually caught and arrested after which it was found that there was another drug-related warrant issued against him.

Officers found 38 grammes of cocaine on him and a precision scale that bore traces of the drug, they said.

All three were arrested and remanded while Larnaca’s drug squad continues investigations.
