Two men arrested following dangerous wedding drift stunt in Limassol

On the evening of October 31, 2026, at approximately 18:15, a dangerous drifting exhibition took place at the Linopetra roundabout in Limassol. A 36-year-old groom and his 28-year-old best man were arrested by police following the circulation of a viral video labeled 'Just Married,' which captured a race car performing maneuvers while tow trucks blocked roundabout entrances and fireworks were ignited.

During court proceedings on November 3, the Limassol District Court ordered the two suspects to be remanded for two days. Authorities are currently investigating charges including reckless driving, obstructing traffic, and unauthorized road closure. The groom allegedly surrendered a stripped vehicle shell to investigators, which police suspect is not the same car seen in the viral footage.

The investigation remains ongoing, with police actively seeking the original racing car used in the incident, as well as the drivers of the tow trucks involved in the blockade. Both suspects reportedly claimed during questioning that they did not initially realize the severity of their actions. The Ministry of Justice has strongly condemned the incident, emphasizing that public roads are not racetracks and that law enforcement will act without exception.
