Police investigate suspected vandalism at Paphos road transport department

Police in Paphos are investigating a case of suspected malicious damage at the local Road Transport Department (TOM), after employees discovered broken windows on the premises early Monday Morning.

According to Paphos police assistant operations director, Michalis Nikolaou, the incident was reported around 8am, when staff at the department noticed damage to six small windows, specifically sunroofs, located in the vehicle inspection hangar.

Members of the criminal investigation department (CID) were immediately dispatched to the scene and have begun examining the area.

Forensic officers were also expected to arrive to conduct further investigations.
