Greek authorities have dismantled a criminal organization that reportedly stole lithium batteries from mobile phone towers and substations. The gang was involved in at least 105 thefts, accumulating profits estimated at over €500,000 from the resale of these batteries on the internet at prices lower than market value. The operation raised concerns regarding public safety, as the theft of batteries could potentially disrupt emergency services like the national emergency number 112.
Four members of the organization were arrested in connection with this scheme, and during the police investigation, 103 lithium batteries of various types were confiscated, along with other items including knives and a shotgun. The activities of this gang have highlighted ongoing issues related to equipment theft within the telecommunications sector in Greece, prompting further scrutiny from law enforcement agencies.
