On September 7, 2025, the police in Kyrenia detained three people in connection with an illegal drug possession case, according to a press release from the regional police department. The search was conducted by the Crime Prevention Unit (CÖŞ).

According to the police, during a stop and inspection of a car driven by A.I. (male, 33) with A.T. (male, 40) as a passenger, a substance suspected to be cocaine, weighing approximately 1 gram, traces of cocaine on clothing, as well as a glass pipe and two spoons used for drug consumption were found and seized. The items were taken as evidence, and two men were immediately arrested.
