Cannabis Shipment from the US Leads to Arrest in Latsia

A package originating from the United States and destined for Latsia, Cyprus, was found to contain 870 grams of cannabis instead of the declared cotton trousers. The discovery was made by a Customs Department official at the Mail Sorting Center during a routine inspection. The Drug Squad (YKAN) was immediately notified and confirmed the substance was cannabis. A 23-year-old Cypriot man was subsequently arrested when he appeared at the KEDA to collect the package. YKAN will further investigate the case to determine the extent of the network and those involved.
