**Title: Police Seize Additional 263.5kg of Ketamine in Limassol**
In a significant drug bust, police in Limassol have seized an additional 263.5 kilograms of ketamine, bringing the total amount confiscated in recent investigations to over 390 kilograms. This latest seizure occurred on Monday and follows a prior discovery of 126 kilograms of the same substance just two days earlier.
The latest haul was uncovered by the drug squad, known as Ykan, at a warehouse in Limassol. The operation was conducted as part of an ongoing investigation into the earlier seizure, which took place on September 12. During that operation, police executed searches at two residential properties, leading to the confiscation of 126 kilograms and 876 grams of ketamine, alongside other drugs and cash.
The searches conducted on September 12 involved two couples: a 53-year-old man and a 51-year-old woman, as well as a 50-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman. All four individuals were arrested during the operation. Following their arrest, they were remanded in custody for eight days by the Limassol district court as authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the drug seizures.
The recent discoveries underscore the ongoing efforts of Ykan’s Limassol unit to combat drug trafficking and distribution in the area. Investigations are still active, with police evaluating evidence and pursuing leads related to the substantial quantities of ketamine seized.
As the situation develops, further details may emerge regarding the origins of the drugs and the broader implications for drug enforcement in Cyprus. The police are expected to provide updates as their investigation progresses.
