In fact, the gang members were showing off their loot in their social media posts.

The Amarousi Security Department dismantled a gang accused of systematically committing burglaries-thefts in shops in various regions of Attica.

The police investigation revealed 30 burglaries – shoplifting, 8 vehicle thefts, as well as a robbery he allegedly committed against minors.

In particular, two young men aged 19 and 17 were arrested, while two other gang members of the same age were identified, with the second 19-year-old being imprisoned.

In fact, the gang members were showing off their loot in their social media posts.

A case file was filed against the defendants, on a case-by-case basis, for forming a gang, distinguished thefts by continuation, by profession, by habit, robbery, violation of the legislation on addictive substances and on the probative value of police IDs.

According to ELAS, the defendants burglarized health shops and supermarkets, while removing safes, sums of money and electronic devices.

In fact, they chose to “knock” in the early hours of the morning, in order not to be noticed by passers-by.

A characteristic feature of the gang’s criminal activity is the successive thefts within a short period of the same day.

In some cases, the alleged perpetrators drove to the stores they had targeted in stolen cars, and then abandoned them in areas of Western Attica.

The members of the gang, who have been repeatedly arrested for similar crimes, were taken to the Athens District Attorney.
