The 45-year-old arrested for arson in Avlonas has been identified as being involved in at least three arsons.

At the same time, kindling lights, a torch and pine needles were found by the Greek Police at his house.

The 45-year-old arrested was located in Avlona and during the preliminary investigation it was established that he had set fire to several places in the wider area.

It is recalled that 4 suspects were brought in today, one of which related to the aforementioned person and turned into an arrest.

The Hellenic Police, in full cooperation with the Fire Brigade, plays a key role in dealing with the fires: it creates hundreds of control blocks, prevents access to mountainous areas, mobilizes valuable forces, takes care of evacuations and the safe removal of residents and patrols outside houses and businesses that have either been evacuated or have suffered damage.

As part of this framework of action, today, in Parnitha and Avlona Attica – from the first moment of occurrence of overlapping fire outbreaks – police forces rushed to comb the area.

The Hellenic Police continues its patrols, assisting the Fire Brigade wherever necessary and wherever it is requested, with the main aim of protecting human life and safeguarding public and private property.
