Larnaca police on Friday said they arrested a teenager on his arrival to the island for carrying drugs in his body.

The 19-year-old was checked as part of actions taken to detect drugs imported into the Republic when he arrived at Larnaca international airport from another European country late on Thursday.

According to police, the teenager rose suspicions and upon providing his written consent he was transferred to the district’s general hospital where an Xray showed he had foreign objects inside his body.

During his stay at the hospital, the suspect excreted a number of items, which appear to contain cocaine.
