Police have arrested a 29-year-old man who tried to smuggle cannabis hidden in a pitta of kebab to a suspect being held in a Limassol police cell.

The man went to the police station on Sunday afternoon and handed over a pitta of kebab he said was for a 27-year-old suspect who is in custody in connection with a case under investigation by Limassol CID.

In the pitta, police found a small transparent bag which contained about 1.5 grams of cannabis.

Police searched his home and car with his consent but found nothing incriminating.
