CYPRadar 🇨🇾👮 Man arrested in Paphos after fleeing police and crashing into garden
A 34-year-old man was arrested in Paphos last night after fleeing a police checkpoint and crashing into a house’s garden during a pursuit. The incident occurred around midnight when officers on a motorised patrol signaled the driver to stop, but he accelerated instead, driving recklessly to evade police.
The pursuit ended when the driver lost control and entered a private garden where the vehicle came to a halt. The man was arrested on multiple charges including reckless and dangerous driving, failing to comply with a police signal, driving without a licence, and driving without insurance. A breathalyser test showed a reading of 76 µg%, significantly above the legal limit of 22 µg%.
Paphos Traffic Police continue to investigate the case as authorities emphasize the serious nature of the offenses committed.
