Three arrests for drugs in Thissio and Kerameikos – two of the accused are minors
Greek police arrested three youths — an 18-year-old, a 17-year-old and a 14-year-old — for involvement in an organised gang allegedly engaged in drug trafficking in the Thissio and Kerameikos areas, according to Dikastiko.gr. All three are facing charges of forming and joining a gang for the purpose of drug trafficking, as well as violations of weapons legislation.
The preliminary investigation reveals that the gang's activities were systematic and roles were clearly defined.

The 14-year-old and the 18-year-old are alleged to have jointly handled the receipt of drugs and subsequently their distribution to buyers.
Coded communication and countermeasures
The gang members used coded expressions to communicate with each other, according to Greek police. At the same time, they took measures to detect the presence of police officers in the area in good time, a fact indicating organised operations.
