Police in Cyprus investigate series of burglaries and financial fraud cases

Two separate crime investigations are currently underway in Cyprus. In the Nicosia district, two women aged 27 and 33 were arrested following a complaint from a 90-year-old woman who reported a burglary on November 5. The suspects allegedly entered homes under various pretexts, including asking for money, to steal cash and jewelry. The 27-year-old was found in possession of 560 euros and stolen items. The Nicosia District Court has since issued a seven-day remand order against both suspects, who are linked to at least 10 other burglary cases.

Separately, in Larnaca, a 34-year-old domestic worker was arrested on November 7 on suspicion of defrauding her 81-year-old employer. A relative reported suspicious activity on the victim's bank card on November 3, revealing that over 42,000 euros had been transferred abroad since August. Authorities seized jewelry worth 1,600 euros, 620 euros in cash, and three mobile phones from the suspect's room. The suspect is expected to appear before the Larnaca District Court to face remand proceedings regarding these financial crimes.
