Two women arrested in Nicosia for series of home burglaries

On November 5, 2026, the Nicosia Criminal Investigation Department conducted a coordinated operation leading to the arrest of a Greek-Cypriot woman suspected of multiple residential burglaries. Authorities have also issued an arrest warrant for a second female suspect involved in the same criminal activity.

The suspects are alleged to be part of a group that targeted homes by knocking on doors under various pretenses, such as requesting money. Once inside, they reportedly stole jewelry and other valuable items. Police believe the two women are linked to at least ten separate burglary cases. During interrogation, the arrested individual reportedly identified the specific residences that the group had targeted. Their criminal activities were captured on closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems, providing authorities with crucial evidence.

Investigations into the full extent of the group's operations remain ongoing as police process the evidence and pursue the remaining suspect. Further legal proceedings are expected to follow as the investigation concludes.
