Limassol police officer recognises his stolen watch on suspect

A police officer on duty has identified as his own the watch worn by a suspect under arrest for cannabis possession.

The watch had been taken from his home last June, in a burglary during which 395 euros worth of goods were stolen.

The stroke of luck for the officer took place on Sunday at the Limassol Police Department when the suspect in question was taken to the offices of the Cyprus Drug Squad (Ykan).

The 27-year-old was arrested with a court warrant and was taken into custody.
