surgical procedure that her son needed to undergo due to an alleged accident.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, according to the woman\u2019s testimony given to the police, another person could be heard crying on the phone, claiming to be her son and confirming the accident.<br \/>\nShortly after, an unknown man arrived at the woman\u2019s residence, where he grabbed a bag containing \u20ac52,000 and fled after throwing it from the balcony.<br \/>\nThe case is being investigated by the Nicosia CID.<br \/>\nThe police statement urged people to remain vigilant, stressing that similar telephone
