Two men suspected of firing shots at a building in Limassol were on Thursday remanded in police custody for eight days as authorities continue investigating.

The two suspects, aged 18 and 20, had earlier been arrested on suspicion of firing shots at a building – specifically the premises of a company – in the Yermasoyia area of Limassol on July 18.

Following leads, police arrested the two men on Thursday morning. They later appeared in Limassol district court for their remand hearing.

Police searched the suspects’ homes, seizing a number of items.

The shots had been fired in the early morning hours of Saturday, July 18 when the company offices were closed.

The police had described the circumstances of the incident as “mysterious” and launched an investigation to identify the two suspects which had been recorded by a CCTV camera at the scene.
