Following his release by a court-martial where he was charged with possession of illegal arms, police on Wednesday re-arrested a 47-year-old National Guard master sergeant in connection with a fresh case of possession of explosives previously found in Limassol.
The non-commissioner officer was re-arrested after authorities matched his DNA with genetic material collected from explosives found in a flat in Yermasoyia during a previous search.
He is expected to be brought before a court on Thursday for a remand hearing.
The master sergeant was charged before a court-martial on Tuesday in connection with illegal arms found at his barracks last week.
The 47-year-old from Limassol, faces charges of illegal possession of a revolver, a hand-grenade and other items, as well as theft.
The weapons were found on August 1 while repairs were being carried out to the ceiling of the showers at the barracks in the Larnaca area.
Workers found a revolver, a hand grenade, explosives, a hood and smoke grenades wrapped in waterproof material.
The items underwent forensic tests, including collection of genetic material, which was later matched to the suspect
On Tuesday, police asked the court-martial to remand the sergeant in custody until his trial but the court reserved decision until Wednesday.
The sergeant was said to be moonlighting as a security guard at a Limassol establishment, which police had had their eye on.
