In the hands of the police are the members of a ring of burglars who had made the burglaries … a profession.

According to police sources, the 5 arrested (and 2 more who are wanted), were eyeing luxurious mansions in the southern suburbs and in Kifissia.

As for their modus operandi, it emerged that they approached the target houses, repeatedly rang their bells, and when they realized that the occupants were absent, they carried out their illegal actions.

In addition, during the inspection stage, if they found that there was an alarm system installed or closed-circuit surveillance cameras, they proceeded to destroy them, so that the owners of the houses and later the Police Authorities would not be notified, and their movements and characteristics would not be recorded.

According to the same sources, the total financial benefit obtained by the criminal organization exceeds the amount of 344,500 euros, while their victims are many well-known businessmen.

As can be seen in the video documents, the perpetrators, after jumping the walls and entering the luxurious mansions, then breached the balcony doors or the doors of the single-family homes and literally lifted everything valuable they found.

For several months they had been characterized as the fear and terror of well-to-do landlords as neither alarms nor security cameras could stand in their way.
