The suspect reportedly confessed to nine additional cases after initially being questioned regarding two burglaries. Separately, a 31-year-old man was arrested in the same district following a search of his home, vehicle, and a shipping container, where police discovered a training hand grenade, electronic devices, various power tools, and a small quantity of cannabis. Meanwhile, in an unrelated case in Limassol, a 46-year-old man was remanded for five days regarding a June 26, 2026, home burglary involving the theft of property valued at €45,000.
