A 58-year-old British national was arrested at Paphos Airport after customs officers discovered cocaine in his trouser pocket during a routine security check, the Drug Law Enforcement Unit (YKAN) said on Wednesday.
The suspect, who arrived on flight FR3131 from the United Kingdom on November 27, was found carrying two nylon packages containing 32 grammes of cocaine each during a body search, despite his hand luggage clearing earlier security screenings.
Following a positive test for cocaine, the substances were confiscated and the man was arrested at the scene. He has been handed over to YKAN for further investigation, authorities said.
