Male aged 45 years old, allegedly admitted before the Larnaca District Court to charges of burglary and theft from two houses in the tourist area of Oroklini, theft of a car in Pegeia, unlawful possession of property, leaving the scene of a traffic collision and other traffic offences.
As Haris Hatzigiasemi, spokesman for the Larnaca Police Directorate, told the Cyprus News Agency, "the 45-year-old appeared before the Court today, Thursday 19 May, where he allegedly admitted the offences for which he is accused".
The Court, he added, "ordered that the 45-year-old remain in custody until May 25, a date set for the reading of facts and imposition of sentence."
According to the facts of the case, "on May 10, a citizen identified the 45-year-old from a photograph of him that had been released to the public and informed the Police, as a result of which he was located in an area of Larnaca. A warrant was issued against the suspect and he was arrested."
Hatzigiasemi added that "on May 7, the suspect was allegedly driving a car on a road in Larnaca, when under circumstances under investigation, he collided with another passing vehicle and subsequently fled the scene. Tests carried out revealed that the car allegedly driven by the suspect had been stolen on 5 May while parked in an area in Paphos.
Police found "inside the car various construction tools, some of which have been determined to belong to the owner of the vehicle, while for the remaining tools investigations are being conducted to determine whether they are the product of theft, since they resemble tools stolen from a house in Larnaca, following a burglary of the house".
He also noted that "the 45-year-old was brought before the Larnaca District Court on the 11th of this month, which issued a detention order against him for eight days. Today the suspect was again brought before the Court where he allegedly admitted the offences he committed while the Corps served him with indictments for the offences he committed in the Limassol and Paphos districts."
The case is being investigated by the Kition Police Station.
