Police in Cyprus report string of arrests across multiple districts

Cypriot authorities have conducted several arrests across the island involving burglary, theft, and fraud. In Paphos, a 54-year-old man was remanded in custody for five days after he was caught by a witness attempting to steal a boiler from an uninhabited apartment building; the theft and related plumbing damages were valued at 12,000 euros. Meanwhile, in Limassol, a 26-year-old was remanded for seven days regarding three separate burglaries, while a 40-year-old man was apprehended inside a jewelry store late Thursday night, found with stolen items dating back to a mid-September heist.

In the Famagusta district, police arrested a 46-year-old man in connection with a 2022 fraud case involving impersonation. The suspect allegedly orchestrated a scam where a victim was tricked into paying 89,000 euros under the pretense of chemical "treatment" to restore banknotes dyed white by a fictional Prince of Gabon. Authorities are continuing their investigations across all districts, with efforts underway to locate accomplices in both the Paphos and Famagusta cases.
