The Larnaca District Court[/B] today issued an eight-day detention order against a 30-year-old woman from Greece, for facilitating the YKAN's interrogations, regarding an investigated case involving conspiracy to commit a felony, illegal supply, importation, possession and possession of a controlled drug by another person and with intent to supply to another person, namely a quantity of cannabis weighing 6.5 approximately kilograms.
As Stelios Sergidis, YKAN spokesman, told the Cyprus News Agency, "the 30-year-old girl arrived at Larnaca airport from Greece at around 3 p.m. on Wednesday 7 December. For the importation of drugs there was information from YKAN, which was evaluated and forwarded to the Customs Department of Larnaca Airport."
He added that "the girl was intercepted at the airport by members of YKAN in cooperation with customs officers and a search of her luggage was carried out. Hidden in pillowcases, two nylon packets containing cannabis, weighing a total ofapproximately 6.5 kilograms, were found and seized."
It also said that "the 30-year-old woman was arrested for an automatic offence and was detained to facilitate interrogations, however it appears that she is not cooperating with the authorities. YKAN members are conducting investigations to locate both the girl's associates in Cyprus and in Greece."
After the customs officers found the drugs, the 30-year-old allegedly threw her mobile phone on the ground and tried to break it.
The suspect was brought before the Larnaca District Court today, which issued a detention order against her for eight days.
The case is being investigated by the Larnaca District Branch of the YKAN.
