A 30-year-old woman was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison by the Paphos District Court for aggravated cases of burglary, theft, and malicious damage. The Court highlighted the repetitive nature of the woman’s crimes, as she had been convicted seven other times for similar offenses. The 30-year-old broke into a home in Paphos, stealing jewelry worth €30,000 and €340 in cash, while also wearing the owner’s wedding ring, demonstrating a lack of empathy. She also caused damage to a vehicle, amounting to €800. Despite the presentation of mitigating factors by the defense regarding the woman’s difficult life, the Court ruled that these did not justify her actions.
