Members of the Limassol OPE stopped a car driven by a 30-year-old man for inspection at around 7.30 yesterday afternoon on Agios Athanasios Avenue.
During the subsequent check, he was found in possession of 25 packets of tobacco and he was arrested for the offence of illegal possession of duty-free tobacco products.
This was followed by a search of the 30-year-old's apartment in Limassol where 71 boxes containing a total of 719 packets of cigarettes were found, as well as 22 boxes containing a total of 110 packets of tobacco. All the above were received as evidence since they are duty-free tobacco products.
Subsequently, the 30-year-old was released from detention while the investigation of the case was undertaken by the Department of Customs and Excise.
