The Paphos District Court issued a one-day detention order against two persons for theft and arson of a vehicle in Paphos.
According to the Press Spokesman of the Paphos Police Department and Head of the Paphos CID Michael Nicolaou, members of the Police proceeded on Wednesday with the arrest of two persons, a 28-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man, in connection with an investigated case of theft and arson of a car, committed in October in Paphos.
The 28-year-old suspect was arrested on Wednesday morning after various components were allegedly found earlier in her car which had been stolen from a car, which was then maliciously set on fire.[/B]
The parts in the suspect's vehicle were seen and identified by the 34-year-old owner of the car that had been stolen and completely destroyed by the fire. After the 34-year-old woman informed the police, members of the police went to the place where the suspect's vehicle was parked, in an area in Paphos, where they conducted examinations.
Subsequently, the vehicle was taken by the police for safekeeping purposes, while the 28-year-old owner was issued a warrant for her arrest. She was arrested shortly after 10.30am on Wednesday morning and was taken into custody for the purposes of police investigations.
At the same time, the 26-year-old suspect was also arrested on a court warrant, also in connection with evidence obtained after the stolen parts were found in the 28-year-old suspect's vehicle. The 26-year-old was also arrested on a court warrant, in the same theft and arson case, on October 13, following the discovery of the fire-damaged stolen vehicle.
He was then remanded in custody for two days under a court order for the purposes of police investigations. At the end of his detention order, he was released while police investigations continued.
According to the evidence under investigation, the 34-year-old woman's car was at a tyre repair workshop in Paphos, where it had been stolen. She discovered the theft of the car on October 10, when she went to the garage to pick up her vehicle, but did not inform the police.
The next day, October 11, members of the police, following a tip-off, found the 34-year-old's vehicle completely destroyed by fire in a field in a village area of Paphos district. Examinations at the scene revealed that the fire in the vehicle had been set maliciously.
The Paphos CID is continuing investigations.
