The Famagusta district court on Saturday remanded six suspects for six days over the alleged kidnapping of a 20-year-old man earlier this week.

The suspects – three 19-year-olds, a 20-year-old, a 26-year-old and a 27-year-old – were arrested under court warrants on Friday.

Police said the incident took place on the evening of July 29, when the victim met a group of people at a location in the Famagusta district.

According to police, the group demanded money from the 20-year-old and threatened him.

They then allegedly forced him into a car and drove him to another location in the district before releasing him a short time later.

Police investigations are continuing.
