A 35-year-old man was detained on Tuesday for theft and damage to a hotel under construction, in Latchi, who allegedly had an accomplice who, however, managed to escape.
According to PAPA Press Spokesman and Head of the Pafos Police Department, Michalis Nicolaou, on Tuesday morning, a 43-year-old contractor who had gone to the hotel under construction with his employees reported to the Polis Chrysochous police station that upon entering they saw two unknown men leaving the engine room and fleeing.
One of them in his attempt to escape fell to the ground and was immobilized by the employees. Members of the Polis Chrysochous police station went to the scene and located a 35-year-old permanent resident of Cyprus while the second person managed to escape.
From the roof of the hotel, as revealed by further investigations, the perpetrators allegedly removed five air conditioner compressors. Electrical wiring was also missing and damage was caused during the removal of these items.
The 35-year-old was arrested on a court warrant for the offences of theft, malicious damage and conspiracy to commit a felony. He was questioned but refused to cooperate with police and did not name his accomplice. Investigations are continuing by the Paphos CID.
