Underworld Show of Force 100 Meters from Police Station

An armed clash that took place just 100 meters from the Larnaca Police Headquarters has highlighted serious security and operational readiness issues. Unknown individuals fired shots and attacked with axes and clubs on a busy avenue, leaving behind traces of blood. The Police are accused of inaction and lack of preventive measures, with the Minister of Justice forced to visit Larnaca to deal with the situation. Four arrest warrants have been issued and a 48-year-old has been arrested, while three people of Arab origin are still wanted. The case raises questions about the conditional release of the 48-year-old, who had been involved with the Police in the past.
