Panic was caused in the Paphos juvenile facility, after an incident in which a 16-year-old resident pointed a pistol at two other minors after a fight that preceded them due to personal differences.
The situation was unsettled due to the minors' concerns about the turn things were taking, despite the fact that police investigations eventually determined that the pistol was a dummy.
As philenews reveals, the incident was reported yesterday to the police by a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old, both residents of the facility in Kato Paphos. As they said, in the early morning of May 10 and after an argument they had with another 16-year-old who also lives in the facility, he pointed a pistol at them, threatening them and having, according to them, threatening moods and behaviour. The cause of the incident was personal differences between those involved.
Police arrested yesterday the 16-year-old who allegedly threatened with the weapon that was found in an area of the facility and which from subsequent examinations was found to be a dummy. The alleged perpetrator of the incident was brought before the Pafos District Court, which issued a three-day detention order against him.
In the juvenile camp and despite the fact that it was found that the pistol was a dummy, intense concern and fear has been caused in recent days among foreign minors about the dimensions that delinquent behaviours receive from a large portion of residents.

Two men who stormed into an Ayia Napa store with a knife and iron bar demanding money were remanded in Famagusta court for eight days on Monday.
The two, aged 23, had walked in the store at around 5am brandishing a knife and iron bar, demanding the employee give them money from the till.
Police said they began throwing unspecified items to the employee, which prompted a second member of staff to interfere.
The 23-year-olds escaped without managing to steal anything. Both were arrested at Larnaca airport on Sunday night.
