Two remanded for 25kg of cannabis found in luggage

Eight-day remand orders were issued on Tuesday by the Larnaca district court against an 18-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man for possession of over 25kg of cannabis.

The woman was arrested on Monday at Larnaca airport when 25kg and 612gr of cannabis were found in her luggage.

The police said the young woman arrived in Cyprus from Thailand via the UAE.
