Police have launched an investigation after gunshots were fired at a home in the Ayios Athanasios area of Amathus on Monday night.

A witness told officers on Tuesday that two people on a scooter may have been involved.

According to police, they were called to the scene at around 11pm and found bullet damage to the entrance and wall of the house.

The owners, a couple, were abroad on holiday at the time of the incident.

The area was cordoned off, and Limassol police collected several pieces of evidence to assist in the investigation and determine the suspects’ motives.
