Four minors in police custody for robberies of pedestrians
According to Naftemporiki, four minors aged 14 to 17 were arrested in the early hours of Wednesday in Thessaloniki as part of an investigation into two robberies targeting pedestrians in the city centre.
They consist of three Greeks and one foreign national, against whom the White Tower Crime Investigation and Detection Department has filed charges for robbery as joint perpetrators.
In the first incident, the four youths approached a 42-year-old man in the city centre and attempted to take money and a mobile telephone from him under threat of violence.
Shortly afterwards, on the seafront, the same group approached a 71-year-old man. Using physical violence, they took a bag from him containing €750, two mobile telephones and personal documents. The elderly man sustained minor injuries and was taken to an emergency hospital for first aid.
The four arrested individuals are expected to be brought before the competent prosecutor's office.
