The police arrested a 53-year-old woman on Wednesday evening, in connection with four cases of fraud and embezzlement of over €150,000 in total, being investigated by Limassol police.

This was the second person to be arrested. Earlier on Wednesday, at around noon, a 44-year-old woman was arrested.

According to the police, between October 2023 and May 2025, the two women allegedly extorted the money from members of the public under false pretenses.
