Cypriot police conducted a series of large-scale, coordinated preventative operations across the island during the nights of July 22-23 and subsequent days in July 2026. The initiatives, aimed at bolstering public order and security, involved intensive street patrols, checks on urban hotspots, and inspections of various premises. Reports vary slightly regarding the scale of the enforcement: some sources indicate 13 arrests for offenses including arson, drug possession, and possession of weapons, while other reports mention 12 arrests for incidents such as public intoxication, theft, and assault.

Traffic enforcement was a central focus of the operation, with police logging hundreds of violations, including speeding and driving under the influence. Reports of traffic citations range from 180 to 339, with authorities confiscating between five and ten vehicles. Additionally, hundreds of alcohol and drug tests were administered to drivers at various checkpoints. These police operations are described as part of a recurring, ongoing effort by authorities to proactively address delinquency and maintain public safety across urban centers.
