Police in Larnaca are investigating a fraud incident that occurred on October 31, 2026, involving a 46-year-old man with intellectual disabilities. The victim was allegedly approached by two women near his home in Livadia, who initially requested five euros. Under the pretense of taking only the requested amount, the women escorted the victim to an ATM.
