Police investigations regarding missing persons and violent assaults in Cyprus

Cypriot authorities are currently managing several high-priority criminal and missing persons cases across Paphos and Larnaca. In Paphos, police are seeking 17-year-old Giorgos Andreou for his alleged involvement in a conspiracy to commit a felony and grievous bodily harm on November 4, 2026. Additionally, a search is ongoing for 21-year-old Ramadan Hamo, who has been missing from Geroskipou since November 8, and an elderly man, approximately 70 years old, who disappeared while foraging for mushrooms between Stavros tis Psokas and Panagia.

In Larnaca, police recently released photographs of five individuals suspected of beating a 15-year-old boy in a multi-storey car park on October 10, resulting in a facial fracture for the victim. Following the public appeal, one of the five suspects surrendered to the Larnaca Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and his search status was subsequently rescinded. Police are also actively searching for 21-year-old Sudanese national Abdullah Sendik in connection with separate serious crimes in the Larnaca district. Authorities are urging the public to contact the Citizens’ Hotline (1460) or local CID units with any relevant information concerning these ongoing investigations.
