The cannabis was discovered late on Monday afternoon. Earlier, acting on information that drugs were due to be imported, police placed a number of containers, premises and individuals under surveillance.
They raided the premises when a container was delivered to premises in Ypsonas, within the SBAs, in cooperation with SBA police.
In the container they found 350 packages of cannabis weighing 100 kilos.
Two Greek Cypriots aged 49 and 42 and two Nigerians aged 36 and 30 were arrested on the spot.
Later police arrested another two men, a 48 year old Greek Cypriot and a 39 year old from Bosnia-Herzegovina.
All six are due to appear in court on Tuesday to be remanded in custody.

A police spokesman said that inquiries continue and further searches will be carried out at the premises.
