A cannabis seizure resulted in the arrest of a 20-year-old man after around two kilograms of cannabis were found and confiscated during an operation by the Drug Law Enforcement Unit (DLEU).

According to a Police statement, officers from the DLEU went to a courier company in Nicosia following an assessment of information. A parcel containing the cannabis had arrived from abroad.

A 20-year-old man appeared to collect the parcel and was arrested for offences committed in flagrante delicto.
