Cyprus Police Press Office – Press Release: Payment of out-of-court fines related to traffic offences recorded by the photo enforcement system

The Police announce that a large number of out-of-court fines (Form GL 276A) related to traffic violations recorded by the Photo Enforcement System remain unclaimed by vehicle owners implicated in these offences.

These cases pertain to the period from 1 January 2022 to 30 September 2024, and vehicle owners are urged to check if their vehicle has been recorded by the Photo Enforcement System and to settle any outstanding fines.

Procedure for locating and paying Fines

  1. Checking for outstanding fines:
    Vehicle owners can visit the website of the contractor company (www.cycamerasystem.com.cy) and enter:
    • The vehicle registration number; and either the identity card number, Alien Registration Certificate (ARC) number, or business/company registration number, as applicable.
    Upon entering these details, they can:
    • Check if any out-of-court fines are outstanding against them;
    • See the total number of outstanding fines; and
    • View the reference number of each fine.
  2. Immediate payment:
    If the individual wishes to pay immediately, they can visit the Police website (www.police.gov.cy) and follow the relevant procedure.
  3. Details of the violation:
    To obtain details of the offence, individuals can call 80008009 during any working day between 08:00 and 17:00, where they will be provided with the fine reference number and access to information about the violation, available on the contractor’s website.
  4. Assistance:
    The public can also call 80008009 for assistance with payment issues or difficulties entering their details.

Reporting another driver

If the registered vehicle owner finds that they were not driving the vehicle at the time of the offence, they are legally obliged to identify the driver. This can be done electronically on the designated website, avoiding bureaucratic procedures.

According to the Traffic Offences (use of photo enforcement devices and other related matters) Law (Law 55(I)/2001), the vehicle owner must provide the driver’s details through the appropriate submission. Failure to do so is a criminal offence under Article 21 of the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Law, Law 86/72.

Payment period and legal consequences

The payment period for outstanding fines will commence on 8 January 2025 and will continue until 31 March 2025.

If vehicle owners fail to settle any outstanding fines after this period, criminal cases will be initiated, and offenders will face prosecution without further delay.

This process does not apply to cases already filed before the courts.

Objectives of out-of-court settlements

The Police emphasise that out-of-court settlements aim to avoid criminal prosecution and to save valuable time for both the Police and the Courts. Vehicle owners are encouraged to act promptly to resolve any outstanding fines.

ON THIS DAY: The Phantom of the Opera premieres (1986)

On 9 October 1986, the Phantom of the Opera premiere took place at Her Majesty's Theatre in London's West End, marking the beginning of one of the most successful productions in musical theatre history. Created by Andrew Lloyd Webber and starring Michael Crawford as the mysterious Phantom and Sarah Brightman as Christine Daaé, the musical would go on to captivate audiences around the world with its haunting melodies, elaborate staging and dramatic love story. From Gothic novel to West End sensation Based on Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel, The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a disfigured musical genius who lives beneath the Paris Opera House and develops an obsessive love for a young soprano. Andrew Lloyd Webber transformed the Gothic tale into a lavish stage production, combining romance, mystery and tragedy with a powerful orchestral score. The musical introduced songs that would become theatre classics, including "The Music of the Night", "All I Ask of You", "Think of Me" and the dramatic title number. Directed by Harold Prince, with musical staging and choreography by Gillian Lynne, the original London production featured elaborate costumes, atmospheric sets and a spectacular falling chandelier that became one of the show's most recognisable moments. Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman's defining roles Michael Crawford's performance as the Phantom became one of the defining roles of his career, earning him widespread acclaim for his portrayal of the troubled character. Sarah Brightman, who was married to Lloyd Webber at the time, originated the role of Christine Daaé, bringing her distinctive soprano voice to the production. Their performances helped establish the musical's international reputation and set the standard for generations of actors who would later take on the roles. A record-breaking theatrical phenomenon The Phantom of the Opera premiere began an extraordinary run in London's West End. The original London production reached 13,629 performances before being interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020. The musical returned to the West End in 2021 and has continued its run. Its success also crossed the Atlantic, with the Broadway production opening in New York in January 1988. The show went on to become Broadway's longest-running musical, closing in April 2023 after 13,981 performances. Over the decades, The Phantom of the Opera has been performed internationally, translated into numerous languages and seen by millions of theatregoers.
