It appears in three video documentaries the action of unscrupulous robbers who targeted food distributors in various areas of Athens and with the use of force they grabbed their receipts as well as their personal belongings.

As can be seen in the video material that the authorities have in their hands, the perpetrators using a “business motorcycle” approached the target distributor mainly in the afternoon or evening and after immobilizing him, they forced him to hand over the receipts, personal items (mobile phones etc.) or sums of money.

In addition, when committing the robberies they ensured that their facial features were covered wearing helmets, hoods or capswhile the coercion of their victims was carried out either by the threat of using a knife, or by exercising physical violence against them, which in some cases was even excessive.

So far, 8 cases of robbery and 1 case of attempted robbery have been solved, which were committed between November 6 and December 4, 2023, in areas of Northeast Attica and the center of Athens.

In the searches carried out, the following were found and seized:
