Last night, members of the Paralimni Police Station arrested a 49-year-old foreign resident of Paralimni for illegal possession of a Class B controlled drug.

Specifically, at 21:45 members of the Paralimni Police Station following information about a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot of a supermarket in Paralimni spotted the disputed vehicle parked in a dark place with a person sitting in the driver's seat.

The members of the police approached the vehicle and found that a 49-year-old foreign resident of Paralimni was sitting in it. During a background check the 49-year-old was behaving strangely and a subsequent search following his written consent found a half-smoked hand-made cigarette about 3cm long which contained traces of cannabis mixed with manufactured tobacco.

The 49-year-old was arrested for the self-inflicted offense of illegal possession of a Class B controlled drug while undergoing a preliminary drug test with a positive result for amphetamines.

Famagusta Police Station and the Paralimni Police Station are investigating.
