Armed robbery at residence in Limassol

In the early hours of Thursday, October 8, 2026, a 36-year-old woman and her 43-year-old husband were victims of an armed robbery at their residence in the Sfalangiotissa area of Limassol. At approximately 3:00 a.m., five masked individuals entered the house through an unlocked sliding aluminium window while the couple was asleep. The suspects, who were armed with knives and a handgun, restrained the husband with adhesive tape and forced the wife to open a bedroom safe.

The victims remained tied up for several hours until they managed to break free and notify the police at approximately 7:00 a.m.

Authorities are currently investigating the crime and collecting evidence, including CCTV footage from the surrounding area. The Limassol Criminal Investigation Department (TAE) has confirmed that no arrests have been made as of yet.
