Remanded for selling drugs

TWO BULGARIAN men, aged 26 and 29, were remanded in custody for seven days on Monday in connection with possession of prescription pills and synthetic drugs, which they were allegedly selling to tourists in the Famagusta area.
Police said they have seized 2,392 pills, 932 (unspecified) medications, and a quantity of what appears to be synthetic cannabis.
A prescription is necessary to be in a possession of some of the pills, police spokesman Andreas Angelides said.
The suspects told police they sold the drugs to tourists holidaying in the area.
The drugs were found during searches in a shop and the suspects’ residences, police said.
Police also found €3,060 in cash.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. 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.
