In the context of investigating a case of breaking into a church and stealing various items, committed on August 17 in Nicosia, for which two men aged 47 and 44, who were arrested on 18/8/2024, are already in custody, the Police yesterday proceeded with another arrest of a 46-year-old man for the crime of theft.
Specifically, during the examinations that had been carried out after the arrest of the first two men, it appears that they had sold gold jewelry that was the product of theft from the church, in a specific goldsmith's shop in Nicosia.
The owner of the gold shop in question was arrested yesterday on the basis of a court warrant and taken into custody, while being interrogated he allegedly admitted that he received the gold in question and melted it.
