The story of a great youth love, which could be made into a movie, ended up in the courts. A 22 year old was convicted yesterday by the Mixed Jury Court of Volos for robbery, while he was also accused of kidnapping his 14-year-old girlfriend, of Turkish origin.

The young man who became a robber for his love yesterday was sentenced in absentia to a 23-month suspended prison term for kidnapping a minor and carrying a weapon.

Children of Greek and Turkish immigrants met in Germany in 2019 and decided to “stolen” since the 14-year-old’s parents were strongly opposed to the bond.

The family of the now 22-year-old young man had immigrated to work in Germany and since his girlfriend’s parents did not allow him to see her, he decided to “steal”. The origin of the young man was from Ampelonas of Larissa and the couple found refuge with the grandparents of the then 19-year-old boy. But there was no money to live and the 19-year-old decided to commit a robbery….

Their love affair was revealed when police officers arrested the 19-year-old for the pawn shop robbery of Larissa and found that the 14-year-old girl lived with him, who was being searched for by her family and for her disappearance a relevant signal had been issued by the German authorities.

“Together forever»
“I will do everything for you” he allegedly said to her and one day at noon, he appeared as a customer at a pawn shop in the area of ​​the Municipal Conservatory of Larisa and asked to leave a gold cross and take its value in money.
He had not hidden his facial features, he spoke broken Greek, and indeed he caught up with the 38-year-old employee, who made it clear to him from the beginning that the cross was of little value.
He took out a knife

The young man explained that he needed the money, but the clerk insisted that it was of insignificant value. Then the perpetrator took out a knife from his pocket and threatened her, demanding all the money that was in the cash register.
He took 2,115 euros, as well as the book of transactions, believing that this would cover his tracks. Unperturbed, as if nothing had happened, he returned to his grandmother’s house, taking with him the money, the transaction book and the knife. The police found him there and arrested him, after the employee’s complaint had been filed, who, despite her shock, withheld several pieces of evidence. Inside the house the policemen they found the 14-year-old who did not understand what was happening, started crying and asked to get into the patrol car.
The minor persistently refused to leave the 20-year-old and return to her family, and as reported by the police, she was so in love that she asked to follow him to the detention center when he was arrested.

How was the couple in love found?

On January 17, 2019, the 19-year-old broke into a pawn shop in the city of Larissa with a knife, from where he withdrew 2,115 euros. A few hours later he was located and arrested. An investigation followed at his grandparents’ house, where the police were surprised to find the 14-year-old, with whom they could not communicate in German, and the young man’s elderly relatives explained what had happened.
Subsequently the police searched for wanted minors and realized that they had a child in front of them whose parents were looking for him.
She was immediately transferred to a church apartment where the social worker and the Prosecutor’s Office launched the procedures for her return to Germany. The little girl was picked up by her father.

A few days later and since he had been released by the authorities, the young man, who did not appear in court yesterday, left for Germany.
