Paphos police arrested two men aged 33 and 27 on suspicion of breaking into and stealing €17,000 worth of clothing and other items from an Emba home.

The burglary was reported to the police by the 38-year-old owner of the house, who said a large number of items including clothing, accessories, shoes and mobile phones had been stolen from his house. The man, who filed his complaint on June 28, estimated the value of the stolen objects to be around €17,000.

After examining the scene, police said that burglars had entered through the balcony door of the house which was unlocked. They also collected evidence to try and identify the suspects.

The house did not have an alarm system, security cameras or safety locks.

A female neighbour who was questioned by police gave testimony pointing to the two suspects, both permanent residents of Cyprus.

Police issued arrest warrants against the two. They were arrested on Wednesday after officers found various items during a search in their house that they believe were stolen from the 38-year-old’s house.
