Police on Monday arrested a 15-year-old male in Limassol on suspicion of possession of cannabis.
Officers on patrol spotted the 15-year-old in the driver’s seat of a car parked in an area of Limassol on Monday night.
As soon as he saw the officers, the youngster started the car and raced away. He was seen throwing a plastic bag containing a small amount of cannabis out of the window which police seized.
He managed to get away but was found shortly afterwards.
When he was questioned, he reportedly admitted to the possession of the illegal drugs and the traffic offences he had committed.
