Limassol resident detains suspected burglar in his apartment

On Sunday afternoon, November 1, 2026, a 34-year-old resident of the Limassol district discovered a burglar inside his apartment. The incident occurred at approximately 14:00, when the resident returned home to find an intruder present.

The homeowner successfully restrained the 50-year-old suspect until police officers arrived at the scene. Initial police investigations identified the suspect as a man of Georgian origin who was residing in the Republic of Cyprus illegally. Consequently, he was first arrested on charges related to illegal entry and unauthorized stay. Later that evening, the suspect was arrested again under a judicial warrant specifically for the burglary of the building.

While the suspect is currently in custody, police authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident. The case has been processed through the local judicial system to confirm the suspect's detention status.
