Police arrested six persons yesterday, as part of an investigation into cases involving theft, illegal possession of property, possession of burglary tools during the night and securing goods with false representations, committed in Nicosia.
A complaint was made to the police that between the years, 2014-2021, two persons aged 40 and 52, allegedly entered into a number of mobile phone contracts securing nine mobile phone devices. To pay their bills, they allegedly issued cheques which they then cancelled. Court arrest warrants were issued against the two suspects, under which the 40-year-old was arrested, while the 52-year-old is still wanted.
In addition, a complaint was made to police yesterday by a 27-year-old, that he spotted a bicycle similar to his own, worth 10.000 euros, which had been stolen the previous days from the parking lot of the apartment building where he lives in Nicosia.
In a meeting arranged by a friendly face of the 27-year-old with the sellers, after the stolen bike was identified, the two suspects, aged 19 and 27, were arrested for the offence of unlawful possession of property and, when questioned, allegedly admitted to the theft of the bicycle.
It should be noted that members of the police were present during the meeting, as a coordinated operation was organised to arrest the suspects.
Also, at around 8.15pm yesterday, a tip-off was received by the police about persons who were trying to steal air conditioning compressors from a building in Nicosia. Members of the police went to the scene, where they located a person aged 39, who allegedly admitted to committing the offence.
Meanwhile, at around 2am today, members of the Kofinou Regional Police Station stopped a vehicle driven by a 33-year-old man with a 31-year-old passenger, loaded with aluminium doors, on the Pseuda - Libion road, for control.
In a subsequent check, aluminium doors and windows, a large number of clothes gloves and burglar tools were found inside the vehicle, among other things, for which they did not give adequate explanations for their possession and were arrested for a first offence.
