Police said they found three grams of cannabis in the bag of a 16 year old student who was arrested on Monday in a Paphos lyceum on suspicion of being involved in drug dealing.
During the school’s break on Monday morning, two men whom the Drug Enforcement Unit (YKAN) had been following, entered the schoolyard in a saloon car.
YKAN officers searched the car and found 27 grams of cannabis, a grinder and a scale inside.
They arrested the men aged 21 and 22, along with the 16 year old who was in the car with them.
The three were remanded in custody for three days by Paphos District Court on Tuesday.
