Second Suspect Arrested in Limassol Over Attack on Courier

Limassol police reported the arrest of a second suspect in a case involving extortion and an attack on a food delivery driver. The District Court approved his detention for seven days to allow further questioning.

The 20-year-old man was arrested on the basis of a court warrant as part of the ongoing investigation. Earlier in the same case, another 20-year-old suspect was detained and remains in custody for eight days. Four other individuals involved are still being sought.

The incident occurred on the evening of February 8 in the Ypsonas area. According to police, a 24-year-old courier collided with another motorcyclist. After the accident, the second participant allegedly attacked the victim and demanded money, supposedly as compensation for the damage.

Several other individuals later joined the assault. According to investigators, the perpetrators also stole the courier’s mobile phone and cash before fleeing the scene.
