A twenty-two-year-old suspect in a case of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder and illegal possession of a firearm and explosives - offenses committed on August 14 in Pyla - and who is in custody, was rearrested by the Police on a case of possession of drugs, weapons and explosives.
Specifically, in the context of an investigation into a case of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder and illegal possession of a firearm and explosives on August 14, members of the Police proceeded yesterday, pursuant to a court warrant, to arrest a 22-year-old man, who had already been under arrest since September 3.
According to the Police Communications Branch, the arrest of the 22-year-old was preceded by a search of his home in the Nicosia district, in which members of the Larnaca TAE and OPE, Nicosia TAE and YKAN participated, where four pistols were located and seized, three of which had a loaded magazine, an additional magazine with bullets, a folding bat, a device resembling a mobile phone and an air rifle.
