Police arrest 36-year-old following shooting incident in Tremithousa

A 36-year-old man was arrested on Thursday evening in connection with a shooting that occurred at a residence in Tremithousa, Paphos, in the early hours of Wednesday, June 24, 2026. According to official reports, gunshots were fired at the entrance of a house at approximately 3:45am, though police were not notified until 7:00am. No injuries were reported, but military-grade bullet casings were recovered from the wooden front door area. The home is occupied by two men, aged 38 and 41, who stated they were unaware of the incident. Investigators are currently exploring the possibility that the attackers targeted an adjacent house belonging to another individual known to authorities, potentially linked to drug-related activities.

The suspect is currently in custody following the execution of a judicial arrest warrant.
