There was an organised operation involving Corfu Drugs Squad and Security Police on Sunday night (27/12) during which a 60-year-old foreign national was arrested in possession of a large amount of drugs.



This followed a months-long investigation to find the organised network bringing drugs into NE Corfu.

It was discovered that the drugs had been brought and handed over to the foreign national using two jet skis. The jet skis had come to the shore for the handover and are being sought by the police.

This morning, Monday 28th, a search was conducted at the arrested man's home in the presence of a judicial officer in which the following were found and seized:

- 3 plastic packages with 484g unprocessed cannabis
- 2 digital precision scales

The Drugs Squad and Security Police conducted an interrogation and the arrested man was taken to appear before the Corfu Prosecutor.
