A 46-year-old goldsmith has been arrested in connection with the theft of votive offerings from the church of Apostle Andreas in Platy Aglantzias.
The owner of the goldsmith’s shop was arrested on a court warrant and admitted to receiving and melting down the stolen gold items.
Two other men, aged 47 and 44, were previously arrested in connection with the theft and are already in custody.
Police believe the men stole gold items from the church and sold them to the goldsmith’s shop.
The Nicosia CID is continuing its investigations.
