With regret the Owner of JUBILEE money exchange has died after being attacked by murderous thugs. Although as I understand this didnt actually happen at the premises at Kermya , could this be a wake up call for other businesses handling large amounts of cash to strengthen thier security. Is it not going to be long before we have bullet proof screens here.

Outrageous.

Look what's happening to our safe haven in the Med.

All types of crime seem to be soaring.

There is a report on page 5 of last weeks Cyprus Today

BRUTAL ROBBERY... The owner of the Jubilee foreign exchange bureau was seriously injured after robbers beat him up before fleeing with 100,000 ytl in cash.

Police say attack happened at his house in Kucuk Kaymakli on Thursday night, 22nd Jan.. Two masked men hit him over the head just as he arrived home after closing the shop at Metahan, he is believed to have driven himself to the police station before he collapsed, then taken to hospital where he remained until he passed away,Police have since arrested 3 men

Very sad news. Lovely man indeed and to lose his life to robbing thugs for money is atrocious. Sincere sympathy to his family.

I hope that the police have the right men and that they get what they deserve, I suspect that they won't be going to the holiday camps that we have in the UK.

Truly a sad loss, I am sure most who cross north to south and vice versa will have been in at some point.



From gleaning of press here over last 3 years the police are very efficient at catching this sort of villain and once caught there life is no picnic.

Things are bad in the UK as well, started off the week on monday with 2 robbers in my Post Office third time in 2 years and we are situated in a nice residential suburb.

The Post Office will probably try to close us if this continues, public loose again while criminals lap it up in prison with all their mod cons!
