The police chief has asked for a report over the incident.<br \/>\nOn Friday, a prisoner escaped the Nicosia central prisons by <strong>walking out the front door<\/strong> and was found two hours later.<br \/>\nHe had returned from a court hearing in Larnaca and while waiting to be processed, blended in with a group of visitors and walked out. He had no help from the outside and appeared to take advantage of the moment, reports said.<br \/>\nIt appears police officers were handing over at the time and apparently only noticed a prisoner was missing during the inmate count.<br \/>\nThe prisoner, a Syrian national, reportedly has a <strong>problem with one of his legs<\/strong> and did not manage to get too far.<br \/>\nHartsiotis was attending an event commending police officers in Limassol. He said media focuses more on the negatives of the force \u201crather than its successes\u201d.<br \/>\n\u201cIn the past two days, police have achieved many successes. We have uncovered a significant number of arsons and arrested people accused of a significant number of thefts which took place in the past.\u201d<br \/>\nThe minister said he did not see the same coverage for the \u2018successes.\u2019 Police have come under increased criticism in the past few weeks amid a spat of apparent <strong>underworld wars<\/strong>, which have led to a number of businesses getting bombed and arson attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fact: A prisoner escaped from Nicosia central prisons by walking out the front door and was found two
