Apollon  bomb scare

The building of the Apollon football club in Limassol was evacuated on Monday evening after a call warning that a bomb was placed in the premises.

Police evacuated around 150 people in the building after 8.30pm when they received the call. A search was carried out, but no bomb was located.

During the search however, police found 68 computers that were switched off, and confiscated them as evidence for an investigation concerning illegal gambling. They were in two locked rooms of the building.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
