Police in Cyprus have arrested a 44-year-old woman. She is suspected of stealing sacred religious items. Officers took her into custody on Friday evening. They found her with the stolen items. A court later approved her detention for six days. This gives police time to investigate. The theft has caused worry in the local village.

The investigation started after a report on November 29th. Some important objects disappeared from a small chapel. This chapel is part of a Holy Temple. It is very important for the village's spiritual life. Stealing these old relics is a serious crime. It is more than just stealing property.

Police acted quickly after the report. They caught the woman with the stolen objects. The exact details of the relics are not public. This is to help the investigation. However, the arrest shows police are taking it seriously. The quick actions show good teamwork.

The court allowed police to keep the woman longer. This is normal in Cyprus. It helps police ask questions and find evidence. Police are likely looking for reasons why she did it. They also want to find out if anyone helped her. They are also trying to see where the items were going. The black market for old things might be involved.

This case is upsetting for many people. It makes them think about protecting old and religious places. Many of these places are not very secure. People will watch the investigation closely. The results might help protect other valuable places in Cyprus. The police continue their work diligently.
