Theft remand

TWO Romanian men were yesterday remanded in custody for seven days in connection with possession of stolen goods.

A third Romanian national is sought by police for the same case.

Police arrested the two men after one, 33, attempted to sell jewellery to a jeweller at a lower than normal price.

Police set up a sting operation and arrested the 33-year-old who then implicated a compatriot, 21.

Police raided the 21-year-old’s flat, finding a large quantity of alcoholic drinks, jewellery and a computer, which belong to unknown individuals.

The 21-year-old claimed he took the items from a third man whom police are now seeking.

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.
