Man arrested after robbing bakeries

A 28-year-old man was arrested on Thursday in Nicosia on suspicion of having robbed three bakeries.

The first robbery took place at 11pm, with the man entering a bakery with his face covered and with a sharp object in hand, threatening the workers, before taking money out of the till and making off with it.

Then, on Tuesday, the man broke the lock of a bakery’s entrance before entering the bakery and demanding that the workers give him the money out of the till. After they obliged, he ran away.
