The operations resulted in the arrest of five people for various offences. The cases they face include failure to appear in court, possession of portable blades, and unlawful residence within the borders of the Republic of Cyprus.
During checks, 407 vehicles and 518 people inside or within the vehicles were examined. In 47 property inspections, two violations were recorded.
From traffic controls, 234 violations were detected. Nearly 42 per cent of these (98 cases) concerned drivers travelling at speeds exceeding the legal limit.
