With intensified patrols and controls in all provinces, the actions of the Police continued yesterday, as well as during the night, to prevent the use of firecrackers, the lighting of lamps and phenomena of juvenile delinquency.
As part of these actions, Police patrols responded to various incidents of lighting fires and the use of firecrackers, while in various areas timber collected for lighting lamps was located and received.
During the checks in places where people gather for lighting lamps and using firecrackers, a number of young people were checked, without anything reprehensible coming up. In various incidents of lighting a fire in open spaces, to which the members of the Police responded, members of the Fire Service were also called, to extinguish the fires.
In the districts of Nicosia and Limassol, during the police control operations, piles and quantities of wood intended for lighting lamps were found, as well as other objects such as chairs, sofas and trash cans. Part of the timber and objects found were received with the help of crews of the local authorities, while their receipt will continue today, in cooperation with the local authorities.
The Police continues with an increased presence and targeted actions in all provinces, with the aim of preventing dangerous behaviours and enhancing the safety of citizens, while calling on the public to show responsibility and cooperate with the competent authorities.
