Police in northern Nicosia arrested three people on Thursday morning after a large fire broke out on the premises of a banner company on Wednesday evening.
The trio have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence.
An investigation into the cause of the fire determined that it had been caused by the floor catching fire due an extension cable overheating.
The fire broke out at the building of banner company Isil Reklam in northern Nicosia’s industrial area at around 5.20pm on Wednesday. It was eventually brought under control at around 8.30pm.
Teams from the north’s fire brigade, the north’s civil defence, the Nicosia Turkish Municipality (LTB), and the Dikomo Municipality were all called to help tackle the blaze.
It has now been completely extinguished.
