Authorities received a tip-off regarding two people acting unusually on the roof of a building. Upon arrival, officers discovered that the main entrance had been forcibly opened, raising immediate concerns about potential criminal activity.
On the rooftop, officers found a 55-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman, both Greek Cypriots, allegedly engaged in the act of cutting copper pipes. In their possession were burglary tools and various electrical equipment, indicating a clear intent to commit theft.
Further inspections revealed that the suspects had caused damage to air-conditioning cables, piping, and electrical wires supplying the building. The police swiftly moved to arrest the two for offences committed in flagrante delicto, which allowed them to take immediate action without a warrant.
The suspects were taken into custody, with investigations ongoing to determine the full extent of the damage and whether there are any further implications regarding their actions. The prompt response from the police highlights the importance of community vigilance and the role it plays in preventing crime.
