A 43 year old man is under arrest on suspicion of breaking into a house in Peyia, stealing household appliances and driving off with the owner’s car.
The arrest of the man, a foreign national, follows a complaint made by the 75 year old owner of the house. She said that between February 4 and 7, as she was abroad, her housed was broken into. She said a number of appliances and her car were stolen.
Peyia police investigating the break in obtained testimony against the 43 year old Paphis resident and obtained an arrest and a search warrant.
They tracked him down at his house last night where they found the keys of the car, which was parked outside the house next door.
