A little later, at 10:20 last night, on Nisi Street, in Ayia Napa, the members of the Famagusta Traffic Police stopped a car driven by a 34-year-old and proceeded to a preliminary check of the driver for driving under the influence of alcohol, with an indication of 128μg% ml, instead of 22 μg% ml which is the allowed limit, while in a final alcohol test, the 34-year-old did not give a satisfactory expiratory sample.

The 34-year-old was subsequently arrested by members of the Police and remanded in custody to facilitate investigations. A case of driving under the influence of alcohol and refusing to provide a satisfactory sample for a final alcohol examination is being investigated against him.

The Famagusta Traffic Police continues the examinations.
