Bulgarian women suspected of stealing £78,000
By John Leonidou

TWO BULGARIAN women, suspected of stealing £78,000, were yesterday arrested as they were preparing to board a flight at Larnaca Airport.

The two women, aged 28 and 36, were living with a Nicosia man. His apartment was burgled on the day that they were set to leave the island.

Yesterday, a Nicosia Court remanded the two women in police custody for six days.

According to CID Investigator Christos Demetriou, the suspects are under investigation for conspiracy to commit a crime, breaking and entering and theft.

The women were working as waitresses at a social club.

“On September 19, a complaint was filed by a man in the Kaimakli area of Nicosia stating that somebody had broken into his home and stole a small travel bag containing £78,000,” the investigator told the court yesterday. “The suspect had the money hidden in his home.”

Police who got to the scene noticed that his door was open, with a key in the lock, and that his money was gone. His suspicions immediately turned towards the two women
“For the last two years, the plaintiff was hosting the two suspects who were friends of his ex-girlfriend. He had given them the key to his apartment but he had also placed a spare key under a shoe that was situated outside his front door, something which the two suspects also knew.”

He told investigators that on the day his apartment was burgled, he had dropped the two women off in central Nicosia after they had told him that a friend would take them to the airport.

After dropping them off, he returned home to find the spare key on the door.

A Nicosia district judge yesterday remanded the two women in police custody for six days with investigators saying that they have enough reasonable suspicion against them, despite not finding the money.

Twinkle, with all due respect, can you please explain your inference to this being "Racism"?

I'm very perplexed.

How can they be held for 6 days if they have not found the money???. Reaonable suspicion....but no real evidence. They could have put a stop on them at the airports etc or taken their passports away. We have had reports in the past where armed robbers (cypriots, violent crimes) have been given bail pending investigations. It's a case of double standards.

Parents of a friend of mine moved into an OAP home and once he had fully cleared out their house he had found over £40k. Although that was in various places. Same sort of thing happened with some elderly great aunties of mine. Something like £25k there too. Must be a previous generation thing as the most you are going to find around my place is like half a kit-kat and a sheet of stamps
