Thessaloniki police have arrested four individuals for various traffic offenses and violations of the Highway Code. The targeted checks aimed to enforce road safety and reduce accidents in the city.

In Stavroupoli, a 70-year-old woman was arrested after being involved in a property damage traffic accident while driving under the influence of alcohol. Separately, a 42-year-old man was apprehended by traffic police in Asprovalta after crashing his vehicle into a parked car, causing minor injuries to the occupants. He reportedly fled the scene without fulfilling legal obligations.

Further arrests included another 42-year-old man caught driving under the influence of alcohol, who was involved in a property damage accident in a service road of the Thessaloniki Peripheral Road. Additionally, a 43-year-old man was arrested in Langadas for driving a vehicle with license plates that clearly belonged to another car and appeared to be forged. A second set of suspicious Bulgarian license plates was also found hidden in his vehicle.

The vehicle and the seized plates have been confiscated for examination by forensic experts. The arrested individuals are expected to be brought before the Thessaloniki Public Prosecutor's Office.
