Seven people were arrested on Sunday afternoon as police investigated a case of abduction of two people in Limassol, which was reported to them earlier in the morning.

According to Limassol CID, the two, aged 19 and 21, were involved in a confrontation with a flatmate, after which they were attacked and taken to an unknown location.

Police investigations led them to an abandoned building in Ypsonas at around noon where they found the two men tied by the hands and feet.

Police officers located the suspect, who, when questioned, made various allegations.

The differences are believed to be over money.

Police investigations led to seven people being named as involved, against whom arrest warrants were issued, and were then arrested. All people involved are from Syria.
