Members of the MMAD Anti-Poaching Unit carried out searches at three homes and premises in Limassol district on Saturday, uncovering military ammunition, banned cartridges and €14,000 in cash, police said.
The searches were conducted under court warrants and led to the detention or charging of three men in separate cases.
At a property owned by a 39-year-old man, officers discovered and seized 70 complete cartridges of a prohibited type. The man was taken to Limassol CID headquarters, where he was charged in writing and released pending a court summons.
In a separate search at the home and premises of a 47-year-old man, police found and seized 33 military-grade 7.62mm rounds. The suspect was arrested for an offence committed in flagrante delicto and later appeared before Limassol District Court, which ordered his detention for three days.
During a search of the home and premises of a 50-year-old man, officers found €14,000 in cash and a Flobert-type firearm for which no possession licence had been issued. The cash and weapon were seized as evidence and the suspect was arrested and remanded in custody.
