A 34-year-old was remanded for three days by the Limassol district court on Saturday on suspicion of attempting to steal dozens of aluminium blinds.

According to police, the man was arrested on Friday night, and brought in front of the court in the morning, where he was issued a three-day remand.

Police said that the suspect was arrested in the Yermasoyia area when officers stopped a pick-up truck driving around the area. Police stopped the vehicle, and one of the two people in the vehicle fled the scene.

The second person, the 34-year-old, was stopped and during their checks police found 22 aluminium blinds, which had been reported stolen earlier.

Police are still searching for the second individual that escaped.
