Police seize 7.5 kilos of cannabis, arrest 41-year-old man

Police in Larnaca detained a 41-year-old man after the drug squad seized 7.5 kilos of cannabis found in a car on Wednesday afternoon.

The suspect was arrested along with a second man, 53, after drug squad officers intercepted the car they were travelling in at around 6.35pm on the Larnaca to Dhekelia road.

A search of the vehicle, driven by the 53-year-old, found a cardboard box in the boot containing seven packages wrapped in plastic.

The packages contained 7.5 kilos of cannabis, police said.

The pair were arrested but the 53-year-old was later released after police determined he was not involved in the case.

The 41-year-old is expected to be brought before a court later Thursday.
