Large stolen property found in apartment in Paphos owned by a 44-year-old man who is allegedly linked to one of the two suspects who escaped from the Paphos police station detention centre early Saturday morning, according to the Press Spokesman and Head of the Paphos CID Michael Nicolaou.
Mr. Nicolaou said that yesterday an apartment of a 44-year-old resident of Paphos who is wanted for burglary and theft was searched and due to the fact that he was not located the search was carried out in the presence of the community leader of the Technical Area in Paphos.
Among the property found inside the apartment, Nicolaou said, were computers, mobile phones, power tools, hand tools, electrical equipment, jewellery, coins of various countries, banknotes and a DOKO-type shotgun with a cut barrel and stock. From further examinations, he added, it was established that all the recovered items came from a burglary that took place in Steni village during December 2020.
