Thessaloniki: They went to the bar… and left with a safe – Watch video
The perpetrators wore overalls and had their facial features burned
Wearing overalls and covering their facial features, three attackers broke into a well-known bar which is located in the center of Thessaloniki, at 31 Katouni Street, according to Thestival.gr.
Their accomplice was waiting for them outside the store in a black Mercedes.
The clock showed 5:13, when the three perpetrators entered like gentlemen through the main entrance of the store, which they broke in unmolested.
With a sledgehammer they managed to remove the safe that was built into the wall of the store and before leaving they also emptied the cash register. Their loot reaches 15,000 euros!
One of the store’s owners, Mr. Christos Eleftheriadis, describes to thestival that according to what police officers of the White Tower Security Department said, “the perpetrators knew very well what they were doing, they knew the store well and it was organized. They did not cause any damage inside the store. They entered through the entrance which was… unlocked. They just pushed the door open and walked in.”
He says that when they found out the next day what had happened, they were horrified. “They came in with a sledgehammer and the fact that they knew exactly where it was is shocking. The financial loss is, of course, significant, but fortunately, at least at that time, none of our employees were in the store. We await the progress of the police investigations”, concludes Mr. Eleftheriadis.
