Police looking for woman who used stolen cards

Police are searching for a woman after she withdrew €860 using credit cards from a wallet stolen between 7:30 and 8:30am from a man in Larnaca on Tuesday morning.

The man reported he had received a message from Bank of Cyprus, for which he has two cards, that €860 was withdrawn from a cash machine. His third card, which was with a co-op, was not used.

A picture of the woman was captured on the bank’s CCTV footage and she is now wanted for questioning.

If anyone has any information or can help track her down contact any police station or the public hotline at 1460.

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.
