Police in Cyprus arrested seven people during night-time prevention operations, including suspicions linked to grievous bodily harm. The seven suspects were detained on different allegations, among them illegal stay in the Republic of Cyprus, causing grievous bodily harm and driving under the influence of alcohol. During the operation, police stopped and checked 473 vehicles and examined 601 people travelling in them. Officers also carried out 27 checks at premises aimed at tackling criminality, which resulted in one complaint. Traffic enforcement generated 301 reports for road offences, plus five ongoing investigations into breaches of traffic rules. Of the complaints recorded, 167 involved speeding. Police also seized seven vehicles after examinations. Alcohol checks were carried out on 203 drivers. Three complaints resulted from those tests, while one preliminary drug test produced no positive result. Police said the prevention and crackdown operations continue daily, with increased patrol presence, targeted checks and immediate operational action to protect public order and increase residents' sense of safety.
