In recent days, churches and chapels in the area of Kato Paphos have been targeted by burglars.
Within the last 24 hours, unknown persons extorted money from the churches of Agios Georgios, Agia Marina, Agios Antonios, Faneromeni and Agios Agapitikos.
The perpetrators appear to be the same since they acted in the same way and at the same times.

The Paphos Police arrested two young men from Georgia to facilitate investigations into the case of the theft of a chain worth 10,000 euros from a jewelry store.
According to the Assistant Police Director of Paphos Operations, Michalis Nikolaou, on 10.5.23, a 54-year-old owner of a jewellery store in Coral Bay reported to the Peyia police station that a white gold chain worth €10,000 was stolen from her store.
Mr. Nikolaou told the KYPE, from examinations that had been carried out through the closed circuit, it appeared that the perpetrators were two who had entered the store around 11:00 as customers, one of whom employed the employee and the other allegedly snatched the chain. From further tests it is said that testimony against a 31-year-old man was secured and an arrest warrant had been issued against him and he was wanted.
Yesterday Friday at around 14:40 during a traffic control in the Geroskipou area, the Traffic Police stopped a vehicle in which the 31-year-old man was riding, who was arrested and taken into custody. He was accompanied in the vehicle by a 30-year-old man against whom testimony was allegedly obtained from photographic material obtained at the scene of the theft from the jewelry store that he was allegedly the second person involved in the theft of the chain.
This was followed by the arrest of the 30-year-old man, who was taken into custody. The examinations of the case continue while the two suspects were presented before the Paphos District Court, which issued a seven-day detention order against them to facilitate the investigations.
