Police on Friday are investigating a case of theft following the arrest of a 23-year-old man overnight in Limassol.

Officers stopped the suspect around 9.30pm for a check, and he was found in possession of a large number of items, such as watches, sunglasses, electronic devices and other valuables, for which he could not provide adequate explanation.

The man later confessed during questioning that the goods were stolen from a residence in a burglary committed on Wednesday.

The Limassol CID is furthering the case.
