Coffee shop gossip more than likely. It may have been a temporary measure if they were looking for someone.

Looks like there could be something in the Kibris about it but it would need to be translated.

Copyright BRT:



Cattle breeders in the village of Beyarmudu protested against difficulties being raised by the British Base officials in the area.





Yesterday, protestors gathered at the checkpoint in the village and attempted to cross the border into South Cyprus with trucks laden with bales.





The attempt sparked a row between the protestors and British officials and protestors set the bales into fire.





Speaking to the BRT during the protest, the villagers said they had serious losses due to the difficulties being raised by the British officials and called on the government to find an immediate solution to their problems.





The Head of the British Customs in the area assured the protestors that he will find a solution to the problem in case of ending the protest.





You can read the whole story in the BRT paper:
