A Paphos district court on Wednesday issued a five‑day remand order for a 27‑year‑old man in a drug‑possession case.

Police said officers from the narcotics unit found five packets of dried cannabis, two packets of cocaine and six packets of methamphetamine in the vehicle the man was riding in.

A subsequent search of his home uncovered two unidentified individuals, along with 13 packets of cannabis and 161 packets of synthetic cannabis.

The 27‑year‑old allegedly admitted the substances belonged to him and was arrested on the spot for in‑flagrante offenses.
