Criminal prosecution for robbery was brought against two High School students in Didymoteicho, who, using physical violence and with the help of an adult, took a small amount of money from two Primary School students.

The incident happened on December 8, in the afternoon, at a playground in Didymoteicho, according to ERT. The case escalated the next day, December 9, when a relative of one of the victims demanded an explanation from the alleged assailant in a school yard. A disturbance of the public peace followed, while the police, who were called to the scene, proceeded to confiscate a knife possessed by another adult perpetrator, aged 21, from Didymoteicho. The authorities arrested the two minors, who were released after they were brought to the prosecutor of Orestiada, and the prescribed procedure will be followed.

The 21-year-old, owner of the knife, was charged with complicity in the robbery and will plead guilty on Thursday before the investigator Orestiada.
