A 52-year-old man has been arrested as part of an investigation for carrying a firearm, explosives and drugs.
Police issued a bulletin on Wednesday saying the previous day, the man’s home and property in Nicosia were searched.
One air rifle, 152 hunting cartridges, eight firearm cartridges and a small quantity of dry plant material were found and seized.

The 52-year-old was arrested on a court warrant and detained to facilitate investigations. He was expected to appear before the court for a remand order.
