Two individuals aged 24 and 23 were remanded on Tuesday for seven days pending investigations into the kidnapping of an 18-year-old.

The suspects were arrested on Monday evening after a report that two people had approached an 18-year-old in a park in Limassol at around 8pm and appeared to force him into their vehicle.

The teen told the police that the individuals then drove him to another place where they threatened him over financial disputes.

On receiving information about the kidnapping, the police located the vehicle and those involved.

They were all taken to the Limassol police station for questioning and the two suspects were then arrested.

The police are investigating conspiracy to commit a felony, kidnapping, extortion and money laundering.
