Larnaca apartments burgled

Four apartments in the Piale Pashia street in Larnaca were broken into on Thursday, police said.

According to a police report, the burglars removed the front door lock of the building to gain access to the apartments, all on the same floor. While it is not yet clear what the burglars took, police said that a number of jewellery was stolen from one of the apartments.

The owners of the apartments were away and police are trying to contact them to determine what was stolen.

Larnaca police initially received a report on Thursday saying that one of the apartments was broken into. Upon arriving at the scene, officers noticed that other apartments on the same floor also had their front door locks removed.
