A case of armed robbery is being investigated by investigators of the Famagusta ICF. The robbery was committed around 2 p.m.
Specifically, during the above time, an unknown man entered a kiosk in Protaras and asked to buy cigarettes. While the kiosk employee was serving him, he retrieved a pistol and after arming it asked her for the cashier's money. The employee refused, as a result of which the unknown man entered behind the counter of the cashier and removed the entire cash register with its contents, which amounted to €900.
The unknown man then entered a vehicle waiting for him outside the kiosk, in which a second person was in the driver's seat, and fled the place.
According to the kiosk employee, but also from the visual footage obtained by the closed circuit surveillance of the kiosk, the unknown man when entering the kiosk wore a carnival costume with a hat and mask while speaking the Cypriot dialect.
The scene was visited by members of the Famagusta ICF, who photographed the scene and received a number of documents for scientific examinations. The Famagusta ICF is investigating the case.

The 47-year-old, who was allegedly involved in the incidents in Chloraka, was acquitted and acquitted of the charges in connection with the case of theft and theft of scaffolding.
As reported in court on Monday, the Attorney General granted a stay of prosecution of all charges because the testimony presented before the court was not possible to establish the offences based on the indictment, involving theft, theft of scaffolding and therefore the 47-year-old was acquitted and acquitted of the charges.
On the charge of mould theft, the 47-year-old had pleaded not guilty at an earlier hearing.
In relation to the second case concerning the incidents in Chloraka, the Court set the case for next Friday, November 3, in order for the Prosecution to present the facts. The 47-year-old's lawyer is also expected to argue at the next hearing for mitigation of the sentence. After the oral arguments, the Court is expected to reserve a decision.
As the 47-year-old's defense lawyer, lawyer Christos Demetriou, said in today's hearing, his client admitted the statements he made on social media and apologized for them, saying that it was in the heat of his soul that he made them because some of the people who were hit during the incidents in Chloraka were also his relatives.
The offences facing the 47-year-old are the offence of causing or inciting violence in violation of Article 51A of the Criminal Code and the offence of incitement to commit a criminal offence in violation of Article 370 of the Criminal Code.
