The Police arrested a 46-year-old man yesterday, to facilitate investigations into an ongoing case of robbery, extortion and causing actual bodily harm, which was committed in the early hours of July 1, 2025, in the Famagusta district.
The case was reported to the Police by a 23-year-old and a 20-year-old, according to whom, while they were in a nightclub, an employee of the premises asked them to leave, under the pretext of damage allegedly caused to the center's toilets.
