The 32-year-old man arrested when police found 105.65kg of cannabis and 16.52kg of cocaine, was remanded on Friday for eight days to facilitate investigations.

The suspect was taken before the Famagusta district court with charges for conspiracy to commit a felony and illegal trafficking of drugs.

The police are investigating the possible involvement of other people in the case.

Earlier on Friday, the police said employees of a transport company travelled to a building in Larnaca on Thursday to deliver five packages, while the 32-year-old also drove to the address and introduced himself as the packages’ recipient.

The police were then called to the scene and determined that inside the packages were 96 packets of cannabis, containing 105.65kg in total, and 15 packets of cocaine, containing 16.52kg in total.

Since the beginning of the year, the police have confiscated 334kg of cannabis, 18kg of cocaine and smaller quantities of other drugs.
