Three robberies targeting cyclists reported in Limassol

On the early morning of Tuesday, October 13, 2026, a series of three robberies targeting cyclists took place in Limassol. Police are currently investigating these incidents, which resulted in the theft of personal belongings and cash, as well as a minor injury to one of the victims.

The first two incidents occurred around 03:30 on Promachon Eleftherias Street. In the first case, two individuals on a high-displacement motorcycle approached a 23-year-old cyclist and forced him to surrender his wallet containing cash and bank cards before pushing him. Moments later, near the same location, a 20-year-old woman was targeted by six individuals on three small motorcycles. These suspects, wearing dark clothing, helmets, and hoods, stole her bag after she stated she had no money. A third robbery was reported later around 04:50 on Nikou Pattichi Street.

The 20-year-old victim suffered minor injuries after falling to the ground during the struggle for her bag. Authorities are currently processing the complaints, and the Limassol Criminal Investigation Department is conducting an ongoing investigation to identify and apprehend the suspects.
