Police arrest suspects in Limassol robbery and Germasogeia shooting cases

Cypriot authorities have made significant arrests in two separate criminal cases in Limassol. On September 8, 2026, police arrested two men, aged 21 and 19, for the robbery of a 25-year-old food delivery driver in Erimi. The victim was attacked and beaten by two individuals who stole his motorcycle and a waist bag containing 100 euros. Following the arrest, police discovered 772 grams of cannabis and a precision scale at the suspects' residence, leading to additional charges of drug trafficking. The suspects have been remanded in custody for seven days.

In an unrelated development on September 10, 2026, police arrested two other men, aged 20 and 18, in connection with a shooting incident that occurred on July 18, 2026. The suspects allegedly fired over ten shots at a commercial building in Pano Germasogeia, damaging the entrance and interior walls. The act was discovered two days later by a cleaner, prompting a police investigation that utilized CCTV footage. The suspects, who reside in Nicosia, were arrested during a coordinated police operation and are expected to face remand hearings regarding their involvement in the attack.
