A 21-year-old man was taken into custody for threatening, illegal possession and transport of a firearm, illegal possession and transport of explosives and carrying a weapon to cause terror.
According to Sergeant Eleni Constantinou, Spokesperson of the Police Headquarters' Communication Branch, at 05:00 on Sunday morning, a complaint was made to the Paphos Crime Detection Department by a 28-year-old receptionist of a record store located in Kato Paphos that around 03:00 in the morning there was an altercation between people inside the record store. Thereupon after the complainant approached them together with other persons - security - they were taken out of the record store. One of these persons remained in the place where at some point he went towards the 28-year-old and threatened to kill him. Subsequently, half an hour later, while the 28-year-old was at the entrance to the record store, he heard four shots in the air coming from a vehicle stopped fifty metres from the record store.
Subsequently, the PAPA patrols who were close to the area where they heard the shots immediately went to the scene.
The 28-year-old man pointed them to the man who had threatened to kill him a few minutes earlier.
Four firearm casings were recovered from the scene for further scientific examination. Following examinations, the Paphos Police proceeded to arrest a 21-year-old who is alleged to be the person who threatened the 28-year-old complainant.
Investigations are continuing by the Paphos CID.
