Members of the Police, as part of checks to prevent and suppress criminal acts, stopped a car driven by a 43-year-old man shortly after two in the morning today, in an area of Nicosia.
In a subsequent search, inside the car, two plastic containers containing fuel (gasoline approximately 30 liters) were found, as well as a plastic funnel.
The 43-year-old admitted verbally that he had stolen the fuel a little earlier from a vehicle that was parked in the area of Pallouriotissa, as a result of which he was arrested for an unprovoked crime.
The Omorfita Police Station continues the examinations.
