A 35-year-old Greek Cypriot man was arrested in Limassol on suspicion of stealing 25 metal drain covers from the Department of Road Transport (TOM) facilities. The man allegedly visited the site twice, using a trolley and rope to transport the covers, but was unable to move them due to their weight. After the theft was discovered, the Police reviewed CCTV footage and proceeded with the arrest. The man denied the charges, while the value of the stolen covers is estimated at €500. He has been remanded in custody for three days, while investigations continue.
