Two suspects accused of breaking the lock of a mobile kiosk outside the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey in Nicosia and stealing food and drinks have been brought before a court on charges of wilful damage and theft. Judge Şevket Gazi ordered that the suspects be held in police custody for two days.
The suspects were identified by their initials as A.Ş. and A.C.V., while another report gave the second suspect's initials as A.V.V.
Testifying in court, police officer Ahmet Sinanoğlu said the incident took place between 20 and 21 October 2026, sometime between 12.00 and 07.00. According to the officer, the lock of the mobile kiosk owned by G.A., 35, was deliberately and unlawfully broken.
Police said the lock sustained damage worth 250 TL, and biscuits and drinks worth a total of 550 TL were stolen from inside the kiosk.
The suspects were traced by the Crime Prevention Department as part of the investigation and arrested on a warrant. Stating that the inquiry is ongoing, police requested a three-day remand to allow the investigation to proceed properly, but the court granted two days.
