Limassol Police Chase Drug Dealer
Ah well, another one out of the way for a l-o-o-o-ng time, probably 15 years with that lot thrown at him. If the idiot had stopped, he would have been given a breath test and allowed to go on his way, assuming the marijuana was not visible and he wasn't over the limit (BTW, high here at 0.09%).
A 23-year-old man was arrested yesterday after police found drugs and a weighing scale in his car.
He has been remanded for four days and faces charges of drug dealing, possession of narcotics, dangerous driving and grievous bodily harm.
The man was driving in Limassol yesterday (January 18th) when he was flagged down in a random check by traffic police. Instead of stopping, he picked up speed and rammed into a police constable, injuring him and crashing into a squad car. Two officers were injured in the crash and taken to hospital, where they were treated and released.
Upon searching the suspect's car, investigators found cannabis and a weighing scale.
Drug dealers face years in prison under Cyprus laws; yesterday a 28-year-old man was sentenced to 12 years for possession and dealing.
