A coordinated operation was carried out in the last 24 hours by members of the Paphos Police Directorate for the prevention of road traffic collisions in the framework of which 75 traffic complaints were made, with most of them involving speeding.
According to PAPA Press Spokesman and Head of PAPA's Traffic Police Department Michael Nicolaou, the checks resulted in 75 traffic complaints of which 35 involved speeding, two involved driving under the influence of alcohol and one involved driving under the influence of drugs.
Paphos Police are also investigating a case of speeding, failure to stop at the signal of a uniformed police officer, against a 33-year-old man. According to Mr. Nicolaou, on 7.12.22 at 19:20 on Republic Avenue, while speed checks were being carried out, the driver of a vehicle was speeding at 130km instead of 50km which was the permitted limit. He was signaled to stop, failed to stop and fled. Afterwards, he was located. It appeared to be a 33-year-old man, who was charged in writing and released to be summoned later.
Police checks will continue at a later stage.
