Two Arrested in West Attica for Drug Trafficking; 18 Kilos of Cannabis Seized

Authorities in West Attica, Greece, have arrested two men, aged 37 and 64, on charges of drug trafficking, specifically involving cannabis and cocaine. The arrests were made by officers from the Hellenic FBI's Drug Enforcement Division.

The operation began when police observed the 37-year-old suspect carrying a package of cannabis. A subsequent search of a residence uncovered 26 nylon packages containing hydroponically grown cannabis, totaling 18.377 kilograms. Further investigation led to the apprehension of the 64-year-old suspect, who was found in possession of cocaine weighing 1.1 grams, intended for distribution.

During the searches, authorities also seized a blank-firing pistol with a magazine, two vehicles, 2,500 euros in cash, a precision electronic scale, and two mobile phones. Both arrested individuals have a history of prior offenses related to drug trafficking and other crimes.

Police are continuing their investigation to fully understand the scope of the suspects' operations, identify any additional accomplices, and locate any further quantities of narcotics. The case highlights ongoing efforts by Greek law enforcement to combat drug distribution networks in the Attica region.
