According to the police, the teen was detained yesterday afternoon following a court-issued warrant, part of the investigation into a scooter arson case that occurred on March 31 in the Nicosia district.
The investigation suggests that at around 6 a.m. that day, a burning scooter was spotted on an open plot of land in one of the villages in the Nicosia area.
