Jewel thieves in £100,000 heist

LIMASSOL police are investigating the theft of jewellery and watches worth £100,000 from a jewellery shop in the town’s tourist area.

Police said at least three burglars broke into Marina Theodoridou’s shop early yesterday. They used wooden beams from an adjacent construction site to ram the door open.

The robbery was discovered yesterday morning by the owner who told police that the stolen goods were not covered by insurance.
