A gang of jewel thieves are believed to be behind two smashed and grabs on Lefkosia shops this week in which an estimated 1.2 million TL in gold, diamonds and precious stones were stolen.

Three masked men helped themselves to some 900,000TL of stock from Assos Galleria Mall, at 3.40am on Thursday, grabbing items from the windows display as a security company allegedly failed to raise the alarm for 40 minutes.
Police believe the same trio targeted the Taskinkoy branch of Erdinc Jewellers at 4.12am on Sunday.
The break-in set odd a police station linked alarm, bringing local residents on to the street and police on to the scene within five minutes. But the raiders had already snatched 300,000TL worth of jewellery from the display.
In both Cases,  a hammer or heavy instrument was used to smash the windows.
They were caught on security camera and it also captured the car, so we are confident that the police would eventually catch up with them soonest.

Cyprus-today.
