Five suspects held in Nicosia terror and property damage investigation

Nicosia police have arrested three additional suspects in connection with an incident involving weapon possession, incitement of terror, and malicious property damage that occurred in the capital on November 6. The newly arrested individuals, two 20-year-olds and one 21-year-old, were apprehended on November 10 based on judicial warrants. On November 11, the Nicosia District Court issued five-day remand orders for the three men to facilitate ongoing police investigations.

This follows an earlier phase of the investigation that resulted in the arrest of two other 20-year-old men, who are currently being held under eight-day remand orders. According to police reports, the incident took place shortly after midnight on November 6, when four hooded individuals armed with offensive weapons approached the residence of a 32-year-old man. The attackers reportedly broke down the front door and threw various objects at the victim and inside the home before fleeing the scene. The investigation, led by the Nicosia Central Police Station, is currently ongoing to clarify all circumstances surrounding the attack.
