Ruthless criminals ambushed 77-year-old in Kifisia - Stole money and jewelry worth 100,000 euros (video)

Ta Nea reports on a brazen armed robbery in the affluent Athens suburb of Kifisia, where a 77-year-old man was targeted upon returning home. The incident, captured on security cameras, shows the victim being ambushed as he approached his residence. Two masked individuals, lying in wait, surprised the man, subdued him, and forced him into his underground parking area. The assailants, seemingly well-informed about the victim's life and the presence of a safe, made off with cash and jewelry estimated to be worth around 100,000 euros. The victim, fortunately unharmed, was found tied and gagged by his daughter, who promptly alerted the police. This crime underscores a disturbing trend of organized criminal activity targeting individuals, often with prior knowledge of their routines and assets. Residents express concern and a need for increased vigilance, suggesting the perpetrators may have been surveilling the victim. As authorities meticulously examine surveillance footage to trace the escape route of the robbers, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the security challenges faced even in well-to-do neighborhoods.

Around 1:30, somewhere around there, I don't remember, the man passed by our shop, we greeted him and he headed home. From that moment on, we didn't see him, from then on we saw the commotion and the police mobilization and we understood that something had happened.
