PETROL STATION BREAK IN - CHLORAKA
Filenews 1 September 2020 - by Dora Christodoulou
Two people broke into a petrol station in Chloraka shortly after 2 a.m. The two were in a double-cab, which drove into the window of the front of the service station office, which they crushed and then after entering the interior, they grabbed €300 from the cash register and fled the scene before the arrival of the Police.
The brazen action was taken despite the fact that a monitoring circuit was installed at the service station and despite the fact that the company is located on the main avenue of Chloraka, a road artery with continuous traffic regardless of the time.
As recorded on the closed circuit of the service station, 20 minutes after 2.00 in the morning, a double-cab vehicle whose traffic data cannot be distinguished arrives at the site and immediately the driver directs it to the window of the entrance of the premises. The vehicle crashes into the entrance, while immediately afterwards the passenger can be seen leaving the vehicle, entering the interior and taking money from the cash box, then returning to the vehicle with which they leave the scene.
The incident was reported to the police by the owner of the gas station who was alerted by the alarm system and rushed to the scene. According to the first on-the-spot examinations, the perpetrators took from the fund a sum of €300 which was in a box.
The case is being investigated by the Paphos T.E.A.
