Police have arrested a 23-year-old man in connection with an online fraud case involving the theft of €34,600 from a 64-year-old woman’s bank account.
The investigation began after the woman, a Limassol resident, reported the incident to police in February.
According to her complaint, she received a text message on February 1, 2026, which appeared to have been sent by a private courier company.
She opened a link contained in the message and attempted to pay a €3.46 delivery fee. She then discovered that unknown individuals had withdrawn €34,600 from her account.

The suspect is expected to appear before the Limassol District Court this morning for proceedings concerning his remand.
