A 47-year-old man has been arrested after importing products believed to contain controlled substances, the police said on Friday.

The police seized two packages which had been brought to Cyprus by courier service, in which they found products they believe to contain cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), both of which are controlled substances.

Inside the packages, they found 300 sachets of herbal material, 20 smoking vaporisers which appear to contain THC, 36 packages of biscuits, 36 packages of chewing gum, 20 packages of tea, and 10 tubes of creams which appear to contain CBD.

All of the contents of the packages were seized as evidence.

Further investigations into the matter linked the packages to the 47-year-old, who was found in the Famagusta district and arrested.

He remains in custody and the police’s investigation into the matter is ongoing.
