Two women arrested in Nicosia for series of home thefts

Police in Nicosia have arrested two women, aged 27 and 33, in connection with a series of thefts from residences in the district. The investigation began following a report from a 90-year-old victim who stated that a woman had entered her home on November 4, 2026, and stolen money and jewelry. Authorities identified the 27-year-old suspect later that day, finding 560 euros and stolen items in her possession for which she could not account.

Upon interrogation, the 27-year-old confessed to the theft and implicated a 33-year-old accomplice in similar criminal activities. Law enforcement officials believe the suspects operated as a group, targeting homes by ringing doorbells and using various pretexts, such as requesting money, to gain entry. Authorities estimate the pair is involved in at least 10 separate cases, some of which were recorded by security surveillance cameras.

The suspects are currently in custody following the execution of judicial warrants. They are scheduled to appear before the Nicosia District Court on November 6, 2026, to face further legal proceedings as the investigation continues.
