A 26-year-old man has been arrested and deemed a temporary detainee in Thessaloniki following a series of violent robberies targeting elderly women. The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, was taken into custody on charges of repeatedly assaulting and robbing these victims inside apartment buildings, including common areas and elevators. Reports indicate that he managed to steal over €7,000 during these incidents.
Authorities stated that the robberies involved violent tactics, with some victims reportedly being assaulted. Police emphasized that the suspect had been specifically following the women into their residences, which allowed him to execute his crimes. A judicial decision led by a magistrate and prosecutor in Thessaloniki affirmed the necessity for pre-trial detention due to the nature of the crimes and the potential risk of re-offending.
The police investigation identified multiple incidents linked to the suspect, and evidence suggests a pattern of targeting vulnerable individuals. Security footage has also surfaced, showing the man executing the robberies, contributing to his swift apprehension. The investigation continues as authorities seek to address concerns surrounding the safety of elderly residents in the area.
