A six-day detention order was issued today by the Famagusta District Court against a 35-year-old man, who was arrested yesterday for facilitating investigations into cases of securing credit with false representations.
The 35-year-old was allegedly renting houses and cars in Famagusta province without paying the rent due. In the past few days, a total of five related complaints were made to the Famagusta CID by owners of house and vehicle rental companies. According to the complainants, the 35-year-old man agreed with them to rent a house or a car for a few days, telling them that he would pay the amount due through a bank transfer. In fact, the 35-year-old allegedly sent the complainants a photo of a bank transfer for the respective amounts, but without these transactions taking place.
A court arrest warrant was secured against the 35-year-old, under which he was arrested yesterday and taken into custody. Under interrogation, the 35-year-old allegedly admitted to committing seven similar cases in Famagusta province, of which five involve renting houses and the other two involve renting cars.
The investigators of the Famagusta CID are investigating the above cases, also considering the possibility of committing other similar cases both in Famagusta province and in other provinces.
For this reason, the Police appeals to citizens who may be aware of cases committed in a similar manner to contact the nearest Police Station or the Citizen's Line at telephone number 1460.
