Larnaca district court issued a three-day remand order on Tuesday against the 17-year-old who was arrested to facilitate investigations into the torching of a car in Larnaca on April 5.

The police said a 35-year-old had earlier been arrested in connection with the same case.

On April 5, at around 4.30am, a car belonging to a 29-year-old went up in flames while parked outside his residence in the Larnaca district.

The fire had destroyed the front of the car.

During investigations, a testimony was obtained against the 35-year-old, who was later arrested in Nicosia.

While searching the 35-year-old suspect’s residence, the police found a large amount of cash and the man was arrested for the illegal possession of property.

Police investigations are ongoing.
