We catch them "in batches": residents of Alexandroupoli went out to patrol the area

Residents of Alexandroupoli, despite police warnings about the illegality of arbitrariness, self-organized into patrols and comb the neighborhood, catching illegal migrants.

They are “listed” as the main culprits of the fire in Evros by the inhabitants of Alexandroupolis, who claim to have set fire to the forest area of ​​Dadias.

While authorities confirm that the Dadias woodland burned down due to a bonfire lit by foreigners who were found burnt near the epicenter of the fire, Alexandroupolis residents claim that there are many illegal migrants in the area who are walking around with incendiary devices.

In particular, journalist Melina Dislian, in an interview with the media, cited the testimonies of local residents, who emphasize that “illegal immigrants are walking around the city with cans of gasoline, sticks and knives.” A typical example is illegal migrants who were seen behind a LIDL supermarket with pine cones, sticks and incendiary devices.

“25 explosions and fires are arson,” say the residents, who have risen up in recent days and are conducting patrols, thus helping the work of the police and the army.

“Over the past three days, 600 illegal migrants have entered the city. They move along the ring road, break into closed shops, penetrating even into the territory of military units,” emphasize the residents, whose testimonies are cited by M. Dislian. “We patrol along with the army and the police, find illegal migrants in the fields.”

Answering the question why residents, in fact, do the work of the police, as shown in the video with citizens who brought 13 illegal immigrants, now accused of arson, M. Dislian emphasizes that “the police and the army did not have time. The whole city took to the streets and patrolled” and once again emphasizes that in three days about 600 illegal immigrants entered Greece, all of them are men.

“The cops ask us if we’ve seen the suspects and we tell them. They walk around in groups of three or four and carry black bags,” they say, referring to how they help the authorities work.

Meanwhile, residents of Alexandroupolis claim that a few hours ago, two homemade devices were found at the French Station. Also on Wednesday afternoon (23/8) two more foreigners were arrested in Dikela, who, according to residents, tried to set fire to the house.

They were reportedly in a car whose license plates were made public, in which, allegedly, there were people throwing rags with gasoline and other flammable materials. The authorities have been informed about this car and are searching for it.

Finally, they express their outrage that the Athenian media does not mention the destruction of the property of citizens, but mainly focuses on the 18 burned illegal immigrants, calling “conscious citizens Nazis and racists”.

In the meantime, government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis insists that an arson scenario is behind the major fires taking place in Greece.

“There is no doubt about the minister’s words. We are talking about serious things. The police investigation is ongoing, it will come to a conclusion, and justice will prevail. So far, more than 140 people have been detained and charges have been filed, 79 of which relate to arson with intent. All of them require mandatory imprisonment and are serious crimes.The human element seems to have played a very important role.We owe it to the people who died despite the evacuation, we owe it to the people who lost their property and to all those who day and night gives all his strength in this most difficult summer”he said in an interview with MEGA.
