The police made a fourth arrest at dawn today, for facilitating interrogations in connection with investigated cases of conspiracy to commit a felony and a misdemeanor, malicious damage, attempted theft and illegal possession of property.
This is a man, 35 years old, against whom there was a pending warrant for his arrest in connection with the above cases. Three other persons,[/B] aged 22, 32 and 31, had been arrested in the previous days to facilitate interrogations.
The investigation of the cases began on April 4, 2022, when at dawn on the same day, two cases were recorded where two persons attempted to break into safes at petrol stations in Larnaca. From these incidents, the safes were damaged but nothing was stolen.
Police investigations secured testimony against two persons aged 22 and 32. The two were arrested under court arrest warrants and detained to facilitate the interrogations.
Under interrogation, the 22-year-old allegedly admitted involvement in the above cases, as well as in three other cases of theft of catalytic converters from cars, which were also committed in Larnaca.
From the police investigations, regarding the thefts of catalytic converters, testimony was obtained against a 35-year-old man, on the basis of which a judicial warrant for his arrest was issued.
In the context of the investigation of the case, on 8 April 2022, the 35-year-old man was found in an open area in Larnaca, where he was seen by members of the police delivering catalytic converters to an unknown man. As soon as the two noticed the presence of the police, they got into their vehicles and tried to escape.
The police officers managed to intercept the vehicle in which the unknown man was riding, who, as it was subsequently established, was a 31-year-old resident of Larnaca. In a search conducted in his vehicle, five car catalytic converters were found, which the 31-year-old allegedly bought from the 35-year-old. The 31-year-old was arrested for an automatic offence and was taken into custody to facilitate interrogations.
At dawn today, the 35-year-old was located and arrested under the court warrant. He was taken into custody to facilitate interrogations.
The Oroklini Police Station is investigating the case.
