Six minors sought following police vehicle attack in Larnaca

Police in Larnaca have issued six arrest warrants for minors, aged 14 to 17, in connection with an attack on a police vehicle that occurred on October 27. The incident took place outside the Prodromos Church, where officers had responded to a call, which reports indicate may have been a false emergency summons. Upon their arrival, the officers were met by a group that pelted the patrol car with stones, shattering the front windshield and causing extensive damage to the vehicle. No injuries to police personnel were reported.

Two of the six suspects have been arrested, while law enforcement authorities continue to search for the remaining four individuals. The charges being investigated include conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor, assault on police officers, and causing malicious damage. The police union 'Isotita' has condemned the attack, characterizing it as a highly dangerous act that could have resulted in a tragedy rather than just property damage. The investigation remains ongoing as police work to locate and apprehend the remaining four suspects.
