Three separate robberies targeting cyclists occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, October 13, 2026, in Limassol. The Limassol Criminal Investigation Department is investigating the incidents, which involved suspects on motorcycles, to determine if they were committed by the same individuals.

The first two incidents took place around 3:30 a.m. on Promachon Eleftherias Street. A 23-year-old man was approached by two people on a high-powered motorcycle who stole his wallet. Approximately 30 meters away, a 20-year-old woman was robbed of her bag by two of six individuals arriving on three small-engine motorcycles. A third robbery occurred at 4:50 a.m. on Nikou Pattichi Street, where three masked individuals on two motorcycles forcibly took a bag from a 50-year-old woman. She fell to the ground during the attack, sustaining minor injuries to her face and hands.

Authorities are currently analyzing closed-circuit surveillance footage from the areas. Investigators are also exploring a potential connection to two recent robberies involving female pedestrians in the Agia Sofia area. Police continue to search for the perpetrators involved in these attacks, which resulted in the loss of cash, personal documents, bank cards, and a mobile phone.
