geolocator — A geolocator has played a crucial role in the arrest of a 45-year-old man for theft of building materials in Limassol. Police announced the arrest on Friday following a complaint from a construction company owner regarding the loss of materials valued at €2,850.
The incident occurred at a residence undergoing renovation in the Kato Polemidia area. The construction company’s owner reported the materials missing, prompting a swift response from local authorities.
What made this case particularly compelling was the use of a geolocation device that had been secretly attached to the stolen items. This technology tracked the whereabouts of the materials, leading police to their location in Limassol.
Upon receiving the geolocation data, officers conducted a search and successfully recovered a substantial quantity of stolen building materials. Some of these items were still equipped with the geolocation device, providing vital evidence for the case.
The arrested individual now faces charges of theft as well as illegal possession of property. Limassol police have confirmed that investigations are ongoing to ascertain the full extent of the theft and to determine whether additional individuals may be involved.
