Step by step, the 32-year-old’s movements were recorded by security cameras, allowing investigators to reconstruct the route he allegedly took, from his home in Agios Antonios to Limassol Marina and back. According to the evidence presented in court, the suspect set out on foot from his home and initially headed to a parking lot. There, he allegedly retrieved items he had previously hidden in a spot with dense vegetation.
“He then entered the area surrounding the restaurant and placed an object in front of the establishment’s glass display case. The suspect fled on foot and took the same route back to his home in Agios Antonios.”
