Gang that robbed jewelry stores across Attica dismantled; 9 arrested

Authorities in Greece have successfully dismantled an organized gang responsible for a series of high-value jewelry store robberies across the Attica region, with stolen goods valued at over 370,000 euros.

Nine individuals have been arrested in connection with their involvement in the criminal group. The gang had targeted jewelry stores in various parts of Attica, causing significant damage. Their base of operations was identified in Korydallos, where they meticulously planned their operations.

Before each raid, the perpetrators would steal a vehicle, which they used as their getaway car. They would then smash through store security shutters and glass windows using crowbars to steal valuable jewelry, primarily gold. This stolen gold was reportedly resold on the illegal market.

Following a targeted investigation, police were able to track down the suspects and make the arrests. Investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend any additional accomplices believed to be involved in the case.
