The two young men who were arrested on film yesterday, after setting fire to a store in Thessaloniki, are expected to be brought to the Prosecutor’s Office today, Tuesday, May 9.

A case file was filed against the two 21-year-olds, on a case-by-case basis, by the White Tower Security Department, for arson as an accomplice, damage to foreign property, violence against officials and judicial persons, disobedience, attempted bodily harm, insult and violation of the weapons law .

The incident began when, while extinguishing a fire in a mobile phone repair shop by the Fire Service, it was found that two people were moving on the roof of an adjacent building with their faces covered. The two men then tried to escape by parkouring.

Finally, after negotiations with the police, one of the perpetrators came down from the roof and was arrested, while the second tried unsuccessfully to escape on foot, but was stopped and arrested.

According to information, the two people caused the fire when a tarpaulin caught fire while creating graffiti on the roof of the building.

After a check, in the possession of the perpetrators, a mask in the form of a comic book, four signature markers, three lighters, a box of matches and a folding knife were found and confiscated.
