Violent robbery in Alimos: three arrested, two cases
Three youths attacked a 64-year-old man outside Alimos metro station on the afternoon of Monday 9 November, violently removing two gold chains from his neck, according to In.gr.
Police officers from the DIAS unit who were patrolling southeastern Attica were immediately mobilised. The three perpetrators attempted to flee, but were pursued on foot and subsequently immobilised and arrested.
The two chains that had been removed from the victim were found in their possession, as well as a folding knife. Both items were seized.
From the investigation that followed, it emerged that the three arrested individuals are also implicated in a second robbery that had occurred the previous evening, on 8 November, in Peristeri. In that second case, they had approached a 55-year-old man and violently removed the chain he was wearing around his neck.
The Hellenic Police (ELAS) reported that the three youths had occupied the attention of the authorities in the past for similar offences. Criminal charges were filed against them for participation in a criminal group, robbery with complicity and violation of weapons legislation.
The three arrested individuals were taken before the competent prosecutor.
