An incredible incident occurred last night at the Holy Church of Agios Ephraim, in the village of Agios Ambrosios in the Limassol district.
According to the facts of the case, at around 9:15 pm, 25-year-old entered the church through a small window, which he opened using physical force, in order to open and steal the pew.
To his "bad" luck, the 25-year-old found that two members[/B] of the church committee were inside the church and attempt to escape. However, in his attempt to flee, the offender, slipped and fell to the ground hitting his head on an adjacent tub.
Immediately, the two members of the church committee subdued him[/B] and alerted the authorities, whose members rushed to the scene.
The young man, it seems, verbally admitted to the police to breaking into the church but not his intention to steal.
In a written statement, however, he stated that on two other occasions he entered the church in the same way, namely on 13 and 20 May, but did not steal anything.
The young man was taken to Limassol General Hospital where he was examined for the head wound and remained for hospitalization while a warrant of arrest was issued against him for the offences of burglary and theft of a sum of money of 1400 euros.
The 25-year-old remained for hospitalization, under guard while the police station of Pachna continues the examinations.
