Paphos police arrested a 22-year-old late on Friday after they found a cache of low-level explosives in his possession.

According to police, the arrest came about after a search warrant was issued by the court for his home where they found ten canisters, two fire extinguishers and a number of metal pipes all containing potassium nitrate and gunpowder.

Such canisters are often thrown by young people into their Easter bonfires.
