British Base Police confirmed on Tuesday that they had arrested two men, a Turk and an Iranian, near the Agios Nikolaos checkpoint in Strovilia on Monday night for illegal entry and trying to facilitate illegal entry.
According to a statement from the British Bases, a man of Turkish origin was arrested for trying to provide facilities and a 22-year-old man from Iran for trying to enter the Bases illegally.
The announcement emphasizes that the Base Police spends a huge amount of time on companies that aim to prevent illegal entry. According to Chief Inspector Jon Ward, these latest arrests are a strong warning.
In statements on Tuesday, he said that the arrests last night demonstrate the ongoing efforts and determination of the Bases to prevent and prevent illegal entry into the Bases.
Finally, he said that they will continue to conduct patrols in order to make clear the message that illegal crossing will not be tolerated and measures will be taken for those found to do so.
