Two foreign nationals arrested for drugs, weapons possession


    Police on Thursday arrested two FYROM nationals who illegally entered Greece at an unguarded spot on the border between the two countries, near Mt. Paikos, with drugs and weapons in their possession.

    Police said the two detainees, aged 22 and 27, lacked travel documents and were arrested by Kilkis drug squad officers inside Greece.

    The detainees had been placed under discrete surveillance by police, acting on a tip-off on drug and weapons smuggling.

    Police found and confiscated 3.1 kilos of cannabis, a Scorpion submachine gun and ammunition in the possession of the two FYROM nationals.
