Recall, as previously reported by Athens News, in recent years, car theft and burglary have become more frequent in Greece. This trend has been observed since 2016. This is illustrated in the following graph entitled “Car theft and burglary in recent years in Greece”.
According to the Pricefox platform, most crime occurs in two large regions. Statistics show that there are 4 car thefts/break-ins for every 1,000 residents of the Attica region and Thessaloniki.
As you know, earlier law enforcement agencies of Greece neutralized a criminal group whose members committed more than 40 thefts of luxury cars in various parts of Attica. According to the police, the total value of the stolen cars exceeds 1,500,000 euros.
Eight people, six Greeks and two foreigners, were arrested in various parts of Attica in a coordinated operation. According to the police, some of the perpetrators looked after and stole vehicles, while others took care to make fake license plates and place them on the stolen vehicles. Then the criminals either falsified the registration data of the car (chassis and engine numbers) and resold them in this form, or sold them for spare parts.
criminals had at their disposal special technical equipment used by people who commit professional thefts and import unique equipment from abroad (to disable alarms and open complex electronic locks). It is reported that “specialists” opened some cars in 1 minute!
The police investigation showed that the perpetrators stole the vehicle, then parked it in a safe place and searched it thoroughly for geographic identification systems (GPS TRACKERS). In some cases involving luxury IXs of particularly high value, criminals placed fake license plates on them, which they prepared in advance. Dodgers received information on the Internet, where an advertisement was placed for the sale of vehicles of the same type, model and color.
Later, the “fake” car was parked in fashionable areas in order to “become familiar” to the eyes of the authorities. Two or three days later, after the cars were never found by their owners, they were either transported to underground car parks or handed over to people who traded cars for auto parts.
Some of the stolen cars were delivered to a workshop owned by one of the detainees. There, after making various changes, the criminals forged the license plates of a car rental agency (also owned by the same detainee), and then used them to rent to unsuspecting customers, from which they made a lot of money.
