Paphos Police issued an arrest warrant against a 27-year-old for the abduction case in Paphos and proceeded to arrest the 23-year-old alleged victim of the abduction for illegal stay in the territory of the Republic.
According to the head of the Paphos CID and press spokesman of the Paphos CID, Michalis Nicolaou, the 23-year-old in his statement to the police claimed that while he was walking in the area of Chloraka, six persons of African origin approached him, harassing him and asking him to go to their house to have a drink.
When the 23-year-old refused, since he did not know them, as he told the police, he fled because he was scared and subsequently they chased him, caught him and put him in the vehicle. Inside the vehicle they allegedly beat him and stole his wallet containing a small amount of money and then abandoned him on the road and drove away.
Subsequently, the 23-year-old went home on his own. The police via his mobile phone, which was found at the scene, located the 23-year-old and led him to the offices of the Paphos Crime Detection Department. According to Mr. Nicolaou, he has some external injuries and abrasions.
During the search of the vehicle allegedly used by the perpetrators, which was found Wednesday night parked at an apartment complex in Tremithusa, police located the complainant's wallet and documents leading to the owner of the vehicle.
Examinations by members of the Paphos CID revealed that the owner of the vehicle is a 27-year-old foreigner. An arrest warrant has been issued against him and he is wanted. The car used by the alleged perpetrators was taken to the courtyard of the Paphos police headquarters for further examinations.
