As part of actions carried out by the Anti-Narcotics Service in collaboration with the Customs Authorities to identify persons who import drugs into the Republic of Cyprus, two 36-year-old and a 40-year-old were arrested yesterday morning.

Specifically, after a check carried out by an officer of the Customs Department on a parcel that arrived in Cyprus from a third country, five packages containing dry plant material believed to be cannabis, with a total weight of 10 kilograms and 442 grams, were found in it.

YKAN (Klimakio Larnaca) was informed about this, whose members went yesterday morning to a specific courier company where one 36-year-old man, who was accompanied by the second 36-year-old man, presented himself as the recipient. The above persons were arrested for obvious crimes, while a 40-year-old person was also arrested who allegedly transported the two to receive the package.

The three arrested were taken into custody while YCAN (Klimakio Larnaca) continues the examinations.
