Police tackle fireworks offences, delinquency during Easter weekend
Police in Cyprus responded to various incidents over the Easter weekend, including public nuisance complaints, firework and cracker offenses, and instances of youth delinquency. They collaborated with the Fire Service to tackle fires and confiscate illegal fireworks and crackers, with no reported injuries. Several individuals were arrested for possession of fireworks and crackers, including a 19-year-old in Nicosia, a 42-year-old woman with her child, a 49-year-old man with his child in Larnaca, and a 21-year-old man in Paphos. The most significant incident occurred in Kiti village, where youths caused a disturbance with a bonfire and set off crackers towards officers and a resident’s house, prompting Fire Service intervention. Despite police efforts to secure the area, the youths returned to cause further damage before fleeing.
