Two teens arrested for robbing beachgoers

Two teenagers, aged 17 and 18 years old, were arrested on Friday and Saturday after having been seen stealing unguarded items off beaches in Ayia Napa and Larnaca.

The police said they had been informed by a lifeguard in Ayia Napa that a person he had previously identified as the thief of a bag containing two mobile phones on Monday had returned to the beach.

Officers then went to the beach, where they identified the 18-year-old and arrested him. He reportedly admitted to his crime and remains in custody.
