Two minors, identified as foreign nationals, have been apprehended by the Hellenic Police in Thessaloniki following organized efforts by law enforcement. They are believed to be involved in a series of repeated robberies that took place at various small businesses, particularly targeting cafes and convenience stores on the eastern side of the city. The police operation that led to their arrest was the result of systematic research and the utilization of information gathered from various police units focused on the prevention and resolution of criminal activities.

The investigation revealed that the minors had carefully organized their criminal activities with the specific aim of obtaining money and valuable items. Over a span of approximately two weeks, they targeted several small shops, executing their plans during early to mid-March. The police managed to map out their activities and capture them in a timely manner, thus stopping further criminal acts in the area.

A legal case against the two has been filed, which includes charges of participation in an organized group and committing multiple robberies in concert, in addition to violations of weapon laws. This situation highlights the growing concern regarding youth involvement in criminal activities, prompting discussions on preventative measures that could be implemented to deter such behavior in the future.
