Two firefighting helicopters with their 18-member crew arrived in Cyprus from Jordan to support the Republic of Cyprus’ aerial firefighting.
The Police proceeded to arrest a 19-year-old man for trafficking illegal immigrants, after a boat carrying 14 immigrants arrived in the province of Famagusta at dawn on Saturday.
Specifically, during the investigation of the arrival of the irregular immigrants, a testimony was given against the 19-year-old who was arrested and brought before the Famagusta District Court. A six-day detention order has been issued against him.
The rest of the boat’s passengers were taken to the Pournara Emergency Reception Center. The Famagusta CID is investigating the incident.
