The vehicle was stopped for inspection on a downtown street by officers on patrol. The driver of the vehicle attempted to flee, but was stopped by members of the force. A follow-up check found that the driver was a 19-year-old Romanian resident of Paphos, who is well known to the authorities for various illegal acts in which he was involved.
The check showed that the vehicle the young man was driving had recently been stolen from Lemba. It was also found that the license plates on the car corresponded to an ambulance and are apparently stolen.
The 19-year-old was arrested and taken into custody while police investigations continue.
