Bike police arrest man with fake ID and knife

Bicycle-mounted police in Limassol on Wednesday arrested a 38-year-old man in Limassol after he was found to be in possession of a counterfeit identity card and a knife.

Police said the man had been seen “moving suspiciously” on a street in Limassol at around 5pm.

They carried out a check on him, during which he produced an identity card with a photo which bore no resemblance to him.

In addition, they found on his person a 19.5 centimetres long knife with an 8.5cm blade.
