Police car takes a dip in Limassol port

A photograph of a police car being pulled out of the sea at Limassol port was doing the rounds on social media on Tuesday.

Apparently, an officer had parked the vehicle on Sunday at around 1pm near the water.

Under circumstances yet to be confirmed, the vehicle slid down towards the sea.

No one was harmed and a crane was called to scene to lift the car out of the water.

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.
