A young man was arrested for stealing in Paphos on Thursday, but his tidy nature contributed to his capture.
He was arrested for an attempted burglary at a house in Lemba after first stealing a car in Kato Paphos after he arrived in Cyprus on July 26.
On Thursday, he entered the house in Lemba through a window and tried to escape with various objects.
Before he did, however, he reportedly watered the plants in the garden, tidied up the house, took a shower, and put on the owner’s clothes.
The daughter of the family, hearing noises, locked herself in a bedroom and notified the authorities.
The owner and police arrived at the house just as the man was leaving and detained him.
The post Thief detained after tidying up house appeared first on Cyprus Mail.
