Nicosia police on Sunday arrested a 32-year-old man in connection with two cases of burglary, committed in the district.

Officers located the suspect at 11pm in the evening in Latsia, and arrested him under a court warrant.

A search of the 32-year-old’s car revealed burglary tools and when interrogated by CID officers, the suspect confessed to committing two burglaries.

The preceding investigation had led to evidence implicating the man in two break-ins of petrol stations in Strovolos and another area, committed on September 26 and October 6.

A sum of money was stolen from the first petrol station, while no property was stolen from the second. Damages caused during the break-ins were assessed to the value of €80 and €400.
