The chronicle
Around 7.20 p.m. on November 20, a 51-year-old Ukrainian called the Police, who reported that three unknown persons attacked him and tried to use force to put him in a commercial vehicle.
Immediate members of the Police went to the scene where they located the 51-year-old. According to what he reported to the Police, while he was at home, together with a 36-year-old and a 72-year-old woman, they noticed that near the house, the commercial car in question was parked, in which three people were riding.
The vehicle aroused suspicion in the 51-year-old, who, together with the 72-year-old, approached the vehicle to check it. As they approached the vehicle, they were allegedly attacked by the three strangers, who had their faces covered with surgical masks. The two complainants reacted, as a result of which the attackers fled, even leaving the commercial vehicle at the scene.
From subsequent examinations, it was found that the registration plates carried by the commercial vehicle belong to another vehicle, while a pistol with an empty magazine and other evidence were located and received inside the vehicle.
Both the 51-year-old and the 72-year-old were slightly injured in the attack.
The Larnaca Police Department is investigating the case.
