Officers have now been suspended. If you read the article, it helps if you have the theme from Benny Hill playing in the background.

Re: Two detainees escape from Paphos police station
Second detainee who escaped Paphos police caught eight months later
A 34-year-old man who was wanted since February this year after escaping from Paphos police station was arrested on Tuesday night, police said.
He was picked up during a routine traffic stop around 9pm on the Rizoelias – Ayia Napa highway.
During the check, police managed to identify him. The driver of the car, a 49-year-old was also arrested on suspicion of conspiracy after the fact.
In February this year, two men, both of Russian origin with Greek passports escaped from their cells at the main Paphos station. They were named as Alexandros Sarkisides, aged 28, and Ernai Kozmiov, aged 34.
They had been arrested on suspicion of committing 40 thefts from cars and houses and were being detained in holding cells.
According to reports at the time of the escape, they may have had help from the inside. Police acknowledged that mistakes had been made.
Sarkisides was picked up a few days after the escape after he had broken into an apartment in Paphos and fallen asleep.
He reportedly broke into the apartment and then lay down on the bed where he was seen asleep by someone who thought he looked like one of the escapees.
This person called the police, and also told them the main door of the apartment had been broken in, who went to the scene, where they found Sarkisides asleep.
After the escape of the two detainees on February 5, a female officer was suspended following a decision of the police chief.
It said suspicions against the officer arose when the investigators checked the CCTV cameras of the detention facilities covering the period when the escape took place.
The material, according to the Paphos-based media, allegedly showed the officer had engaged in disciplinary misconduct.

Re: Two detainees escape from Paphos police station
This whole thing is a farce. I mean, just read this bit:
"He reportedly broke into the apartment and then lay down on the bed where he was seen asleep by someone who thought he looked like one of the escapees."
Who do they think will actually believe a cock and bull story like that? It is ridiculous. Are they saying that if he hadn't looked like one of the escapees then the person who saw them asleep in somebody else's apartment would have just walked on by? And what was the person who saw them asleep in the apartment doing, in order to be able to see them?
The whole thing would have been rejected as too ridiculous had it been presented as a script for Eldorado, for God's sake.
