The 36-year-old man previously arrested in connection with a Christmas Day bomb threat at a cafe in Zakaki has been re-arrested. Police now link him to an attempted arson at a brewery adjacent to the cafe, which occurred early Tuesday morning. He appeared before the Limassol District Court, which issued a six-day detention order to facilitate further investigation. This new development adds a serious charge to the man's existing arrest for the cafe threat, suggesting a potential pattern of criminal activity in the area.
