Minors caught driving to school without licenses in Paphos

In late October, police in the Paphos district discovered three minors driving their parents' vehicles to school without a valid driver's license or insurance coverage. The incidents occurred at lyceums in Paphos and Polis Chrysochous, where students were observed parking their vehicles upon arrival and driving home at the end of the school day.

Officers from the Paphos traffic police 'Z squad' conducted the checks that uncovered the violations. Authorities impounded the vehicles involved in the investigation. While initial reports suggested the minors may have taken the cars without parental consent, police officials have stated it is highly probable that the parents were aware of their children's daily use of the vehicles, given the regular absence of the cars from the household.

Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the unauthorized use of the vehicles are currently ongoing. Police are analyzing how the minors managed to gain access to the cars and evaluating potential culpability regarding the parents' involvement in the illicit daily commutes.
