Drug Trafficking via Lockers: 28-Year-Old Arrested After Receiving Cocaine Hidden in Puzzle

A 28-year-old Greek Cypriot was arrested in Limassol after receiving a package from Greece containing cocaine hidden inside a puzzle. The suspect is known to authorities and is not cooperating with the YKAN (Cyprus Drug and Addiction Control Unit). Authorities had information about two packages containing a total of 2 kilograms and 160 grams of cocaine. The YKAN collaborated with Greek authorities on the case. A new trend of drug trafficking via lockers is emerging, as it offers discretion and avoids direct contact.
