Somalian migrants crossing from north transferred to Pournara

A family of four and an unaccompanied minor who were spotted shortly overnight in Athienou were transferred to Pournara, it was reported on Friday.

The two were intercepted shortly after midnight following information secured by the Athienou police station and the green line sub-directorate.

The five irregular immigrants of Somalian origin were initially taken to the Athienou station where it was determined that they had crossed to the south at 11pm from an unknown point.
