Police arrest multiple suspects for theft and burglary across Cyprus

Cypriot authorities have reported a series of arrests related to various property crimes across the island. In Nicosia, police apprehended two 17-year-olds and one 18-year-old on September 10, following investigations into a string of burglaries, building thefts, and motorcycle theft committed between August 18 and September 7, 2026. These arrests involved suspects previously identified as Andrian Daniel Slapan, Malek Alsharqawi, and Samir Doqsi.

Meanwhile, in the Paphos district, police arrested three individuals for separate theft offenses. These include a 44-year-old foreigner for stealing property from a department store, a 21-year-old foreigner for motorcycle theft, and a 26-year-old Greek Cypriot for stealing an ATV and a car. Separately, a 23-year-old man was arrested for defrauding a 62-year-old out of over 15,437 euros under the guise of selling boat equipment, while a 44-year-old woman was also detained for allegedly blackmailing the victim to prevent him from reporting the fraud.

Investigations remain ongoing across the districts of Nicosia, Paphos, and Larnaca, where police are still searching for suspects in other outstanding property theft cases. Authorities continue to urge the public to provide information regarding criminal activities through local stations or the 1460 citizen hotline.
