    The alleged crime took place late Tuesday evening when the perpetrators managed to cut through perimeter wire fencing to gain illegal entry to the facility. This breach has raised significant concerns given the secure nature of the site.

    According to sources, the suspects targeted copper wiring within the facility’s infrastructure. The theft of copper has been on the rise across Cyprus, as the metal holds a high resale value, making it an attractive target for criminals.
