3.5-Year Prison Sentence for 30-Year-Old Burglar Wearing Stolen Ring

A 30-year-old woman has been sentenced to 3.5 years in prison by the Paphos District Court for burglary, theft, and malicious damage. The woman had broken into a house in Paphos a year ago, stealing jewelry worth 30,000 euros and 340 euros in cash. During her arrest, she was wearing a ring she had stolen from the house. The court considered her extensive criminal record, as she had been convicted seven other times for similar offenses. Additionally, the defendant had caused damage to a car, amounting to 800 euros, which has not been repaired to date. Despite mitigating factors presented by the defense regarding the woman's difficult living conditions, the court ruled that the severity of the offenses did not justify leniency.
