On the night of Thursday to Friday, an armed robbery of a hotel in Kifisia took place, the police are searching for the criminals.
The incident took place at about 2 am on December 23, in a well-known hotel on Pellis Street in Kifissia. Two criminals drove up on a motorcycle and got inside. Pointing a weapon at the receptionist on duty and immobilizing him, the robbers demanded cash.
The man did not resist and gave all the money – from the cash register and a small safe. Having received cash, the amount of which is unknown, the criminals left the scene on their motorcycle. The hotel employee notified the police.
Law enforcement officers, having video from the hotel’s CCTV cameras, are searching for criminals. The Attica Security Service (Ασφάλεια Αττικής) is conducting a preliminary investigation, writes CNN Greece.

Having moved to another district of Thessaloniki, from west to east, he robbed two OPAP agencies in Metamorphosis and Metropolitan Kydonia streets in 20 minutes, and then a pharmacy in Pontus.

Or does it lie in too “good” statistics, causing complacency of the Greek police? The Minister for the Protection of Citizens, Takis Theodorikakos, speaking on the Σκάι channel, noted in particular: “I want to be honest. From the first day I took office, my main concern was for the police to strengthen their presence in the districts. So is it true that patrols have been stepped up or not?” What’s the answer…
