In Ayia Napa, again after a tip off members of the police found a third country national woman aged 27 illegally working in a bar. During investigations it was found out she had entered the country illegally and had since been staying here illegally.

She was arrested and an investigation was launched into her employer for illegal employment.

A further two people were found to be working illegally at a business in Larnaca. After checks following a tip off at a restaurant police found the 21 and 25-year-old women working in the kitchen. They were also third country nationals.
