Police in Limassol are investigating a series of violent robberies targeting delivery workers that occurred between October 27 and October 29, 2026. On the early morning of Tuesday, October 27, a 22-year-old delivery rider was robbed by two individuals on a motorcycle on 28th October Street. The following day, Wednesday, October 28, a 22-year-old cyclist was approached by four individuals on two black motorcycles on Agias Fylaxeos Street; the victim escaped injury by wearing a protective helmet before the attackers stole his wallet. In a more severe incident shortly after midnight on Thursday, October 29, a 20-year-old motorcyclist was threatened with a knife in the Agia Zoni area, thrown to the ground, and robbed of his motorcycle and cash by two suspects.
