From today's Cyprus Mail, one more example of local Mafia style. Of particular interest as we stayed at a nearby hotel on Ermou St for several years. Not hat tourists are ever at much risk in these affairs. Normally tourists (other than yobs hitting on local girls in the bars) are at risk only from appaling Cypriot drivers:

▪️POLICE are investigating a shooting incident that occurred early Friday at a newly opened bar in Larnaca, after it had closed for the night.

▪️According to police reports, around 20 shots were fired with an automatic weapon at around 3.50am outside the bar which is located in Ermou Street, in the centre of Larnaca. The bar’s owner told police he does not suspect anyone.

▪️The bullets, smashed the bar’s front window panes, while several shells were found on site. The bar was closed when the shooting occurred.
