A big fight happened in Larnaca. It was on a busy street. A new crime group is dangerous. The fight was on Saturday. It made people talk about safety.
The problem started with money. Some men wanted money from a business owner. They used guns. This made people scared. Police think the group hurt businesses for weeks. They made threats. The group also wanted to control a nightclub.
Police are looking for a man. He is 48 years old. Police think he is the leader. Three other men are also important. Police searched a house. They found three men from Palestine. They also found many bullets. This shows the group has big weapons.
Police want to know how the group works. They think it is not just threats. There are other bad things too.
It is hard to stop this group. This is because of old rules. Politicians have special protection. This started long ago. It makes getting justice slow. A politician named Nikos Sykas has protection. Police cannot question him now.
People want to change this protection. They tried before. But it did not change. Some people think this protection means politicians are not always blamed. This makes people not trust them.
The fight in Larnaca shows crime is a problem. The slow justice shows it is hard to stop crime.
