Multiple firearms and 22 kilograms of cannabis were found by police during the search of a house in Liopetri.

The firearms included a shotgun with 61 rounds of ammunition and a loaded handgun with eight full rounds of ammunition.

The drugs were found in 39 nylon packages in an auxiliary ventilation shaft which adjoins the outside of the building.

Police obtained a warrant to search the property after they found 32 kilograms of cannabis in Limassol in July.

Following the discoveries, a 33-year-old man was arrested and taken into custody to facilitate investigations.
