Police are investigating a case of robbery, abduction, theft, assault and actual bodily harm, along with other serious offences, involving a 65-year-old victim in the Larnaca district.
The case was reported to police by the 65-year-old himself. According to his complaint, last Monday he met in the Larnaca district with three individuals, two of whom he knows, aged 32 and 42.
During the meeting, the 42-year-old allegedly attacked and beat the complainant, then took €300 in cash, his mobile phone and his car keys from him.
The three men are then alleged to have forced him into a car driven by the third, unknown individual, and taken him to a premises the complainant maintains in a village in the Larnaca district.
There, according to the 65-year-old’s account, the alleged perpetrators seized his car keys and, after loading various items from the premises into the vehicle, left the scene in an unknown direction.
As part of the investigation, arrest warrants were secured against the 32- and 42-year-old.
Following a coordinated operation by CID Nicosia, they were located and arrested in the Nicosia district, along with a third man, aged 44, who was subsequently identified as the third individual referred to in the complainant’s report.
Those arrested are expected to appear today before Larnaca District Court for a remand order.
Kofinou Police Station is investigating the case.
