66-Year-Old Arrested for Illegal Hunting in Acheleia

Members of the Game and Fauna Service arrested a 66-year-old man last night in the Acheleia area of Paphos for illegal hunting. During a patrol, game wardens heard gunshots and located two individuals, one of whom was shooting with a flobert rifle and the other holding a flashlight. As the wardens approached, one suspect allegedly threatened them with the weapon and both attempted to flee. The 66-year-old was arrested and found in possession of 18 freshly killed partridges, while another was found at the scene of the shooting. Additionally, two full and four spent cartridges were confiscated. The Police are investigating the case, while the second suspect remains at large.
