A parcel with suspected cannabis was stopped in Mauritius while in transit to Seychelles, according to a Seychelles Police Force communiqué reported by Seychelles Nation. Two men appeared before the Supreme Court: a 63-year-old British visitor and a 30-year-old Seychellois who owns a tourism business in Port Glaud.
Both were remanded in police custody for 14 days. Investigations are continuing. The quantity is not stated and the article is partly behind a paywall.
Why it matters: A foreign visitor is among those detained, which is the kind of case the network's embassy and consulate listings are for. The quantity is unknown.
