The woman who filed the complaint said that the €150 bag contained two mobiles worth €650 and her wallet with €70 in cash, her ID and bank cards.

In a second case in Limassol, on Monday night a 63-year-old man filed a complaint with police that his car, worth €3,000, had been stolen. He told police the car was stolen around 9.00 pm on Monday. It was parked on the street, unlocked and with the keys in the ignition.
