Pharmacy burglarized in Lympia as police investigate
In the early hours of Tuesday, August 18, 2026, a burglary occurred at a pharmacy in the village of Lympia. Around 3:00 a.m., two masked individuals gained entry to the premises after allegedly breaking a glass door with a stone, a sequence of events captured by closed-circuit surveillance cameras. The perpetrators successfully removed cash from the establishment's till before fleeing the scene in an unknown direction.
The owner of the pharmacy reported the incident to the police, who arrived at the scene shortly thereafter to conduct forensic examinations and evidence collection. The case is currently being investigated by the Pera Chorio-Nisou police station, with authorities working to identify and apprehend the suspects. While various news outlets initially provided slightly conflicting details regarding whether the entire cash register or only the money within it was stolen, official reports confirm that an undisclosed sum of cash was taken.
This incident is distinct from a separate series of attempted and successful burglaries reported in the Aradippou area on the same day, which involved different targets and premises. Investigations into the Lympia case remain ongoing as police analyze the video footage captured during the robbery.
