Two people have been arrested in Larnaca after police found 3kg of cannabis.

After investigations in March at the post office, members of the police drug unit YKAN and the customs department found a total of 937g of cannabis in three parcels.

As a result, the two people, aged 23 and 26, were arrested on Wednesday.

A search of the home of the 26-year-old found two nylon packages which contained a further 2kg of cannabis.

A further investigation of the home of the younger suspect turned up a metal crusher and a container both with small amounts of cannabis on them.
