Suspect in custody for possible engine theft

Paphos court

The Paphos District Court has remanded a 25-year-old man in custody for four days for the illegal possession of property to facilitate investigations.

According to the police spokesperson, on Saturday, half an hour after midnight, traffic police stopped a vehicle for control which was driven by a 25-year-old man.

In a subsequent vehicle search, a car engine was found, for which the man could not provide adequate explanation.

It was also established that the 25-year-old was driving without a licence, without insurance, in a vehicle that had been declared immobilised. A fake Greek identity card was also found inside the vehicle.

Police arrested the drover for illegal possession of property and placed him on a four-day detention.
