Greek authorities have arrested several individuals following separate criminal incidents in the Thessaloniki region.

In Neo Irakleio and Nea Ionia, police arrested three foreign nationals, aged 18, 22, and 23, for allegedly committing robberies. In the first incident, an 18-year-old is accused of forcibly taking two chains from a 51-year-old woman. In a second incident in Nea Ionia, two men, aged 22 and 23, allegedly used violence to steal a chain from an 18-year-old victim. The stolen items were recovered in the first case.

In a separate event near Asprovalta, police arrested two youths, aged 19 and 23, and a 31-year-old accomplice. The suspects are accused of disobedience, dangerous driving, attempted bodily harm, and property damage after they allegedly ignored police signals and engaged in a high-speed chase. During the pursuit, the suspects reportedly rammed a police vehicle. Officers fired shots at the vehicle's tires to stop it, and burglary tools were subsequently seized from the car.
