The police on Thursday announced they had seized various quantities of cannabis-based products from shops in Paphos earlier in the week.

A total of two shops were raided, with police finding a total of 71 packages of products which they believe contain cannabis or cannabis resin, as well as 49 products which are believed to contain cannabidiol (CBD), and 19 packages which are believed to contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

In the second shop, police found eight packages believed to contain cannabis or cannabis resin, as well as another four packages of products believed to contain CBD.

All the products found were be seized and will later be tested for their content.

The raids took place after an interdepartmental investigation was carried out by various subdepartments in the police and the health ministry.

The police’s investigation into the matter is ongoing.
