Famagusta CID is investigating two cases of burglary in Xylotymbou with a total of €2,550 worth of jewellery and other valuables stolen, police said.
In the first case, a 57-year-old woman reported to police that between September and December 3 her home had been burgled with €1,900 worth of jewellery and other valuables stolen.

The jewellery and valuables were not insured and the house does not have an alarm system.
In the second case, a 49-year-old woman reported to police that her home had been burgled and jewellery worth €650 stolen.
Again there were no signs of a break-in and officers believe the burglars or burglar managed to gain entrance to the house via a side door which had been closed but left unlocked.
