Members of the Drug Enforcement Agency arrested a 22-year-old man yesterday in connection with a case involving a quantity of dried poppy bulbs, with a total weight of six kilograms and 50 grams.

The aforementioned quantity was found in postal packages and seized by the Narcotics Control Agency in the Famagusta district.

In connection with the same case, two other individuals—men aged 35 and 30—were arrested on June 25, 2026.

The three suspects were brought before the Famagusta District Court yesterday, which issued a seven-day detention order for the purposes of police investigations.

The Famagusta District Unit of the Cyprus Anti-Narcotics Agency (YKAN) is continuing its investigation.
