ELAS made 22 arrests as part of the large operation in campus, where weapons and drugs were reportedly found. The police forces searched both the Student Residence, where they arrested 13 people, and residences around the area where they arrested 9. Among those arrested is said to be a probationary police officer.

The weapons found in the premises of the Student Residence prove that it was used as a base and refuge by criminals, with particularly intense activity – robberies and drug trafficking – in the wider area of Zografou, Kaisariani, Byron and Athens.

During the operation, a 35-year-old non-police officer was attacked by a marked 30-year-old foreigner, whom she injured using her service weapon.

Charges against the 30-year-old are pending four arrest warrants for robberies, guns and drugs. The injured man has been transferred to the Red Cross and is being treated as a guard. The police officer was transferred to the 401 General Military Hospital of Athens.

The arrested 30-year-old is marked and has a heavy criminal record. His photo was released.

They participated in the operation 6 teams of OPKE, 4 teams of EKAM, teams of the Attica Security Directorate, the Attica Aliens Directorate and the Sub-Directorate of Narcotics Prosecution. The operation continues and upon its completion a new announcement will follow.
