Three individuals have been arrested in the Republic of Cyprus for allegedly stealing sheep worth €15,000 from the British military base in Dhekelia. All suspects are currently in custody.
According to a statement from the police press office, the theft occurred on May 10 in the village of Xylofagou. The suspects are now facing a total of 13 charges related to the theft of sheep and other livestock. Authorities suspect the trio may also be linked to similar incidents in other areas of the island.
