A sum of money amounting to 2,900 euros was stolen from a woman who was shopping in a shop in Limassol yesterday afternoon. For the theft the police proceeded to arrest a woman aged 29 years, while a second suspect is wanted.
Specifically, around 4.30 on Friday afternoon, a 39-year-old woman reported that while she was in a clothing store, in a commercial department store in Limassol, her wallet containing the sum of 2,900 euros was stolen from her personal bag.
According to the complaint, the mother of the 39-year-old complainant, who was with her in the shop, had immediately earlier noticed two other women being near the complainant and one of them making suspicious movements near her handbag.
The 39-year-old woman and her mother informed the private security guard of the store, to whom they pointed out one suspicious woman, while the second suspect managed to leave the store earlier. The private security guard asked the suspect to remain at the location until the arrival of the police, who had been informed.
Members of the Limassol CID and OPE rushed to the department store, where examinations revealed that the suspect, aged 29, along with another female suspect, had earlier visited several stores, while the second suspect, departing from the department store, threw the wallet of the 39-year-old complainant in a garbage bin in the parking lot of the department store.
A court warrant was issued against the 29-year-old suspect, by which she was arrested later last night and taken into custody for the purpose of police investigations.
The investigations are being continued by the Limassol CID.
