A 31-year-old Greek-Cypriot man entered a kafenio in Kato Polemidia at 2 am and under the threat of a gun asked the 71-year-old manager for money.

The offender was then chased away by locals and fled the scene in a car.

The suspect pointed his gun at them speeding away and an eventful pursuit ensued.

He was later spotted fleeing on foot this time, and was caught and arrested while his car and loaded gun were both found near the area where he was caught.

Investigation is ongoing.
