Four remanded for break-ins

FOUR people were remanded for eight days yesterday, after police found clothing, electrical appliances and other goods in their apartments, believed to be the product of a number of break-ins in the capital recently.

“A large quantity of objects – clothing, electrical appliances, alcohol and others – believed to be the result of break-ins and thefts, were spotted (on Friday night) during searches that were carried out on a court warrant, on three flats in Nicosia,” the police announced.

The flats’ residents were arrested during the sting: a 21-year-old woman and three men aged 20, 29 and 30. Further investigations showed the 29-year-old had been illegally residing in Cyprus since September 2007.

The suspects have been remanded pending Nicosia CID’s investigations.

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.
