As police officers arrest the two Turkish Cypriots, the driver and passenger in the suspect van that was pursued by authorities on the streets of Ypsonas, footage obtained by AlphaNews.Live captures the scene.
The footage shows police officers who have pinned one of the two suspects to the ground, handcuffed him, and are leading him to a patrol car. These individuals are known to the authorities, and a similar incident was recorded in Limassol a few days ago involving the same “protagonists.”

A timeline of the chase
Police authorities in Limassol have been put on high alert. According to reports, during an operation on Ellados Street in Ypsonas, police officers spotted a suspicious van and signaled the driver to stop. When he failed to comply, the officers called for backup and began pursuing the vehicle, which was carrying two individuals of Turkish Cypriot origin.
A high-speed chase ensued through the streets of Ypsonas, during which the driver caused two traffic accidents, while throwing various objects from the vehicle at the patrol cars pursuing him. The officers fired warning shots at the vehicle’s tires and into the air and eventually managed to bring the van to a stop at the “Eleftheriou” traffic lights.
