Crystal meth arrest

A 31-YEAR-OLD was arrested on Sunday after a switchblade and crystal meth were found in his car as he was driving to Larnaca.

The computer technician, from Limassol, had a 7.5cm switchblade, a flashlight that could be used as a taser and a bag with traces of crystal meth, three laptops – two of which were not in working condition – and a number of mobile phones, most of which were usable.

During questioning he did not give any satisfactory explanations, authorities said and is due to be taken to Larnaca District Court for a detention order.

It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
