Ayia Napa: Concern Over Fourth Criminal Act Against the Same Family – Businessman Allegedly Targeted Not Cooperating – Where Investigations Are Focusing

Concern is growing in Ayia Napa following four criminal acts against members of the same family within a few months. The latest incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday when unknown assailants fired at the homes of two siblings, without causing any injuries. A businessman in the area appears to be the target of the attacks, but he is not cooperating with the police, hindering investigations. The police have information about the motive for the attacks, which are linked to a previous incident involving the discovery of a hand grenade at a property owned by the businessman. Investigations are focusing on the businessman's financial disputes with other individuals, as well as the movements of the perpetrators through security cameras. Previous criminal acts included shootings at the home of a relative and attacks on properties owned by the businessman, with the perpetrators warning the media and police by telephone. The lack of cooperation from the businessman and the delay in filing reports are complicating the police's work.
