Two more people, aged 18 and 20, were arrested and a third remanded for six days on Saturday in relation to 70 robberies and two burglaries in the Famagusta district.

A 19-year-old arrested the previous day was remanded for six days after admitting his involvement in the crimes, which reportedly saw 70 cars and two buildings robbed over the past few months.

According to the police report, testimonies led police to the first suspect, who confessed after facing a special interrogation team called in for the case.

Famagusta police are still investigating the case.
