Security measures stepped up at Paphos cemetery

Yeroskipou municipality said on Friday it will increase security measures at the municipal cemetery following a recent spate of burglaries.

The municipality said it has strengthened the cemetery fencing and lighting at points of special importance, mainly at the entrances, to prevent incidents of unwanted intrusions during the night hours.

At the same time, a request has been made for more frequent patrols by the police to deal immediately with any possible breach of security.

The municipality said it had submitted two applications to obtain permission to install a CCTV surveillance system in the past, which did not receive a positive response.

However, it expects to receive the required approval soon.
