Cyprus police conduct nationwide enforcement operations and Roadpol traffic campaign

Between June 15 and June 21, the Cyprus Police are participating in the European ROADPOL 'Alcohol & Drugs' campaign to prevent impaired driving. The initiative aims to reduce the 24% of fatal road collisions that were linked to alcohol or drugs between 2021 and 2025. Separately, police conducted coordinated overnight operations in urban areas, resulting in 11 arrests for various offenses including drug possession, money laundering, theft, and illegal residence. During these overnight patrols, officers stopped 554 drivers and 126 passengers, carrying out 43 premises inspections. Authorities issued 399 traffic citations, with 104 specifically for speeding, and launched 23 further investigations into traffic violations. Furthermore, 19 vehicles were impounded. Roadside tests led to 6 reports for alcohol offenses and 4 positive tests for illegal drugs.
