A 15-year-old girl has been arrested in Limassol in connection with alleged theft from a 64-year-old man, who is being questioned over the nature of his relationship with minors, police said on Friday.
The teenager was arrested at 7pm on Thursday, after the older man reported that on Tuesday, a 15-year-old had visited him at his hotel room and suggested they go out for dinner.
On the way out, he claimed she drove them into a dead-end where a group of minors beat him and stole his wallet with €5,500 cash and his ID card.
Those that allegedly assaulted him were two males and the 15-year-old who was arrested on Thursday night.
The teenager who visited him at his hotel room has been identified and the vulnerable persons unit is handling the case, police spokesman Christos Andreou said.
The case has prompted a slew of questions as to why the 64-year-old met with a 15-year-old in a hotel room claiming they were friends. Andreou specified they were also not related.
According to the spokesman, the arrested teenager has remained tight-lipped and denies committing any offence.
