Separately, a 19-year-old was arrested in Ayia Napa for 11 burglaries committed in June and July, after he was found with stolen cash and jewelry. In a third case, a 29-year-old man was arrested in Nicosia for three counts of copper cable theft from a power facility in Strovolos between July 15 and July 17.
