Drugs dealers in south Cyprus now drug pigeons to transport drugs

Dealers in Paphos, south Cyprus are now using pigeons to transport drugs within the country.

This is according to a post on Facebook by Paphos mayor, Phedon Phedonas on Friday.

Phedonos followed up on a complaint he made with the police, alleging he has information on a drug ring in Paphos.

“Drug smuggling is also done with pigeons. Those responsible in Paphos and Nicosia know it. The question is, why they don’t do something about it?” Phedonos wrote on Facebook, noting that he had filed a complaint with the police a year and a half ago but “nothing happened.”

He added that the drugs are strapped on the pigeons’ legs.

Earlier on Friday, Phedonos reported to Paphos police that he had information on a drug ring in Paphos and that “foreign criminals” threatened him not to reveal anything.

According to Cyprus Times, police have arrested a 35-year-old in connection with the case.
