Three men, aged 48 years old, 37 years old, and 33 years old, were all arrested on Tuesday after police found them to be in possession of a total of 34 kilograms of cannabis.

The 37-year-old was the first to be arrested, with police stopping and searching his car on the motorway connecting Paphos and Limassol at around 6.30am.

In his car, they found just over 4.8 kilograms of cannabis and seized it as evidence.

They then searched a building belonging to the 48-year-old man, in the presence of the two other men, finding the remaining 29.5 kilograms of cannabis inside a plastic water tank, alongside a precision scale.

All three men were detained, with the police’s investigation into the matter ongoing.
