NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH - Recent issues June 2018



A couple of security issues have been notified recently.

Tala - overnight someone attempted to force open the petrol cap of a car parked  at an apartment block in Tala - presumably to syphon off the fuel.

Tala - two different reports of similar incidents over the last month or so, both in Kamares.   If you see anyone walking around wearing a balaklava and/or hoodie, with a backpack, please call the Police immediately.   This applies also for any person or any vehicle you see acting suspiciously or erratically.   For a vehicle you will need a brief description of the vehicle and the registration number - without this there is nothing the Police can do.

Peyia - discovered by a managing agent.    When they carried out their weekly security inspection they found an unknown man staying in the property.   He claimed that someone on the complex had rented the apartment to him.  However, the managing agent was the sole key holder so they knew this was untrue.

The man was clearly sleeping rough in the apartment - there was no water turned on, and he was sleeping on a bare mattress.   Paphos Police responded quickly and removed the man from the property.  It is believed that he picked the lock to gain entry.
