Woman, 33, arrested for possession of explosives and stolen property

Paphos police arrested a 33-year-old woman while a man, 26, is being sought in relation to a case of illegal possession of explosives and illegal property possession.

The woman was arrested after officers found five full hunting shotgun cartridges, eight 64mm cartridges and a magnifier following a search in her house, Paphos police spokesman Michalis Ioannou told the media early on Thursday.
