Two arrested over generator theft in Paphos
Police arrested two men aged 39 and 28 in connection with the theft of a generator in the Paphos district, authorities said on Monday.
The case was reported at around 6.20pm on Sunday after an employee said an electric generator had been stolen from a fenced construction site near the Tsada–Stroumpi road.
Shortly afterwards, officers stopped a vehicle towing a generator in the district.
The driver, 39, and his 28-year-old passenger failed to explain how they obtained it and were arrested for illegal possession of property.
Police later confirmed the generator was the one reported stolen.
Further checks found the 39-year-old was driving without a licence, insurance, roadworthiness certificate or valid registration.
The vehicle had been deregistered since October 2025.
Police investigations are ongoing.
