Women arrested for multiple thefts

Two women aged 24 were arrested while in custody on for a third case against them in connection with stealing purses, it emerged on Tuesday.

The offences had allegedly been carried out in both Paphos and Limassol between April 1 and 2.

The latest arrest concerns the incident in Paphos, where the women apparently stole a woman’s purse which contained €250.

In Limassol, they were arrested on April 4 for stealing from the mall a few days before.

They were serving their remand order on Monday when officers re-arrested them regarding the Paphos incident.
