The Larnaca District Court today issued a detention order for six days, against three persons, aged 47 and 33, for facilitating police investigations into four burglaries and thefts of apartments in Larnaca province.
As Haris Hatzigiasemi, press spokesman of the Larnaca Police Directorate, told CNA, "between the dates 14 - 24 November, apartment burglaries and thefts were committed in Larnaca province, with the same modus operandi. During the investigation of the cases, a vehicle was spotted moving suspiciously in the area where the burglaries took place."
He added that "at noon on Friday 25 November, during a coordinated operation by members of the Nicosia CID in Larnaca district, the vehicle in question was spotted, from which two persons, Georgian visitors, got off, who moved on foot in the area. A check was carried out and it was established that these were two men aged 47, in whose possession, as well as inside the vehicle, various jewellery, valuables and burglary tools were found."
It also said that "one of the suspects indicated an apartment in Larnaca, from where he allegedly admitted to stealing property, which was found in his possession. Subsequently, members of the Larnaca CID conducted a search of the apartment, where a 33-year-old person was found as well as property, namely gold jewellery, for which no adequate explanation was given for its possession."
The three suspects, he continued, "were arrested on court warrants and detained to facilitate interrogations. So far, evidence has been secured of their involvement in four cases of burglary and theft committed in November in a community in Larnaca district."
According to Mr. Hatzigiasemi, "today the three suspects were brought before the Larnaca District Court which issued a detention order against them for six days and the offences they face are burglary and theft and possession of burglary tools during the day."
The case is being investigated by Larnaca CID.
