Police are investigating a robbery in which two unknown men attacked a 25-year-old food delivery rider and stole his motorcycle in the Limassol district in the early hours of Monday.
According to information under investigation, the two suspects approached the rider around 2:30am as he was riding his motorcycle in the Erimi area. They attacked and beat him, then took his motorcycle and a waist bag containing €100 before fleeing.
The 25-year-old went to Limassol General Hospital, where he received first aid before being discharged.
During the investigation, police found the motorcycle abandoned on an open plot of land in Limassol.
Episkopi police station is continuing its inquiries.
Today’s robbery follows a series of attacks on food delivery riders in Cyprus in the past couple of years. In Limassol, two riders were robbed of their wallets by unknown assailants on motorcycles in two separate incidents within an hour of each other in late June, while another rider was stabbed and robbed by three attackers in a separate case. In Paphos, a 35-year-old was remanded in August over an attack in the Mouttalos area in which five riders were injured, with police continuing to search for other suspects.
