Cops catch copper thief
Police in the Famagusta district arrested a 31-year-old man on suspicion of stealing around 100 kilograms of copper on Wednesday night.
According to Famagusta police department spokesman Steve Theodoulou, a man who runs an electrical goods shop had filed a complaint with police about the stolen copper last Friday.
The complainant said an unknown man had entered a waste ground area near the shop at around 10am on February 28 and stolen the copper.
He added that the copper was surplus from air conditioning units he had installed.
The perpetrator’s movements had been recorded on CCTV. He is expected to appear in court on Thursday.
