Shots fired at car

THREE shots were fired at a car parked in Kato Paphos in the early hours of yesterday morning.

According to Paphos police spokesman Nicos Tsappis, the 44-year-old Cypriot owner of the vehicle reported to police that his car had been damaged by gun shots whilst parked outside a nightclub called ‘Doh re mi’.

The vehicle owner, who works as a waiter at the club, finished his shift and left the venue at around 2am, when he discovered the damage caused to his vehicle.

Tsappis said that the shots had come from a pistol and one shot had been fired at the front right hand side of the car and the other two were at the centre of the vehicle. He added that damage to the car was slight and that an estimate as to the cost had not yet been made.

“We have questioned a suspect in connection with the case, but no arrest has yet been made,” he said.

The police spokesman added that the car owner had indicated to police that he had ‘some differences’ with someone. No one was hurt in the incident.

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.
