Two More Attacks on Food Couriers Reported in Limassol
Two new assaults on food delivery couriers were reported in Limassol on the night of May 6, with masked attackers once again targeting drivers.
According to police, the first incident occurred at around 10:20 p.m. A 24-year-old courier reported that he was attacked while riding along Georgiou Avenue, near the Poseidonia Hotel. Two men in hoodies approached him on a motorcycle.
They struck the courier, causing him to lose control of his scooter and suffer injuries. The attackers then stole his scooter and shoulder bag, which contained €100. He was taken to Limassol General Hospital, where doctors diagnosed a sprained ankle. The stolen scooter was later tracked via GPS and recovered by the traffic police for further investigation.
A second attack occurred around 11:30 p.m. A 22-year-old grocery delivery driver was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Makariou III Avenue and Agias Zonis when two men on a black motorcycle pulled up beside him. The passenger kicked him, knocking him off his scooter. Thankfully, the courier was not injured, and nothing was stolen.
Police are actively investigating both incidents.
