Recent judicial and police actions regarding arson and criminal cases in Limassol
Recent law enforcement and judicial activity in Limassol has centered on several significant criminal cases. On November 10, the Limassol Criminal Court sentenced a 56-year-old man to four years in prison for the arson of a vehicle on March 25, 2026. The court noted his premeditated actions, which were captured on CCTV, and took into account his history of five other criminal convictions, including assault and domestic violence.
Separately, a 26-year-old man was remanded in custody for seven days following his arrest in connection with a car arson incident in Agios Tychonas on October 24. Police identified a white vehicle used in the attack, which had been previously impounded for another theft case, by its distinctively painted wheels and CCTV footage. The suspect denies involvement, and police are continuing their search for a second individual believed to be involved.
In other recent rulings, a 24-year-old man received a four-year prison sentence on November 12 for drug possession with intent to supply, stemming from a July 2025 arrest involving 76 grams of cocaine and 523 grams of cannabis. Furthermore, on November 13, a different 24-year-old man was sentenced to 12 months in prison for threatening his mother with scissors to obtain money for drugs.
