Nicosia CID’s Anti-Smuggling Unit has found over five hundred kilos of illegally procured meat in a vehicle.
The police initially spotted the vehicle moving suspiciously and having its headlights switched off.
They then stopped the car and inspected it, only to find a half ton package of beef.
A second car was also found, inspected and detained – only this one was carrying large amounts of cash that is so far unaccounted for.
The first car had a 41-year-old man as its driver, while the second had a 31-year-old.
Judicial warrants have been issued against both of them – and they remain in custody pending further investigations.
