Attempt to Smuggle Cigarettes and Suspicious Substance – Seizures and Arrest in Agios Dometios

At the Agios Dometios crossing point, Customs officials seized undeclared cigarettes and tobacco from two women, one Cypriot and one Romanian national. The Cypriot national possessed 50 packs of cigarettes hidden in tissue boxes, while the Romanian national had 6 cartons of cigarettes and 1.5 kg of rolling tobacco. In both cases, the goods lacked the required health warnings. The women paid fines for an out-of-court settlement and were released. Additionally, a small amount of suspected cannabis (12 grams) was seized from a Georgian national, who was handed over to the Police for further investigation.
