Assault on speed camera operator
Authorities on Monday issued a warrant for the arrest of a second person in connection with the assault against a speed camera operator last week.
Reports said police are looking for a special constable who serves in the Limassol district.
Earlier, police had arrested a 37-year-old man in connection with last Thursday’s incident. The man is being held for questioning.
A speed camera operator had reported being assaulted by unknown individuals in the early hours of Thursday.
The man said that around 2.40am, while in the parked vehicle on the Paphos-Limassol motorway, near the Kouklia exit, a car pulled up with three people inside.
One of the three people allegedly asked to speak with the operator, who opened his window slightly.
The man said the perpetrator then pepper-sprayed him in the face, while the other two individuals damaged the speed camera van.
The operator then drove off and reported the incident to the police.
Police investigations are ongoing.
