Specifically, shortly after 2.30 midnight, a tip was received stating that, three persons were attempting to steal catalytic converters from parked cars, on a road in the Germasoyia area. Members of the Limassol CID rushed to the scene, where they spotted two men, aged 28 and 33, lying next to a parked car, which was raised with a hoop, while under the vehicle, there was a third man, aged 23, who was carrying a sedan-type cutting tool, a chestnut-type tool, and gloves.
Police members subjected the three suspects to a check and after finding that, the exhaust system of the parked car was partially cut at the catalytic converter point, they proceeded to arrest the suspects. In subsequent searches, three other car catalytic converters were recovered, two at the residence of the 23-year-old suspect and one catalytic converter at the residence of the 28-year-old suspect.
