She woman says she does not suspect anyone with regards to the break-in.
Meanwhile, police on the other side of the island in Paphos are on the lookout for a man who fired a hunting rife twice into the air after being reportedly caught trying to break into a house.
Paphos CID investigators were informed by the 58-year-old owner of the house that at around 9.45pm, he heard somebody on his porch whilst he was in his bedroom.
He then noticed what he described as a young man holding a hunting rifle attempting to break into his home. As soon as the intruder noticed the man, he fired his gun two times into the air before fleeing on foot.
Police investigators are still looking for the intruder.
