From inCyprus 7 August 2017

The police have begun a manhunt for two armed robbers after a co-op bank branch in the Paphos-district village of Timi was targeted on Monday morning.

According to the police, two men with their faces concealed entered the bank at around 8.30am. According to witnesses, one of them was carrying a G3 automatic rifle and the other a short-barrelled hunting rifle. One of the men, in broken Greek according to the witnesses, said: “We are here for the money. Don’t be afraid”.

Apart from the bank staff, there was one customer in the branch at the time.

The two, after grabbing an as yet unknown amount of cash from the bank teller’s drawer, drove off in a vehicle the police soon after determined had been stolen from a lot near the airport hours earlier.

A helicopter is being used to help the police in their search for the robbers.
