Police arrested a total of 40 third-country nationals today as part of ongoing efforts by the Aliens and Immigration Service (YAM) to crack down on undocumented migration.
Specifically, during a coordinated morning operation led by YAM headquarters in Limassol, officers located and arrested 40 individuals for staying illegally in the Republic of Cyprus.
Authorities expect to deport six of the detainees later today. For the remaining individuals, procedures are already underway in cooperation with the Deputy Ministry of Migration to secure their immediate deportation from the Republic of Cyprus and repatriation to their countries of origin.
Police operations to tackle illegal residency within the Republic of Cyprus continue on a daily basis.
