Police investigating theft from courier packages

The theft of items from courier packages is being investigated by Larnaca CID.

The owner of a package delivery company in Larnaca reported on Wednesday that over recent days money had been stolen from envelopes and packages delivered by his company.

He raised suspicions against a specific 28-year-old from a village in the Larnaca district and police secured a warrant for his arrest.

After going to his house to arrest him, police said the suspect admitted his involvement in around 10 cases, totalling the theft of around €2,150.

The suspect is expected to be taken to court later on Thursday.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
