No injuries were reported, and the suspect was apprehended by police units after a pursuit. He faces charges including robbery and weapons law violations.
In Asprovalta, authorities are investigating the death of an Indian national found at a local campsite. The body was discovered by the facility manager on Monday evening, prompting an immediate response from police and emergency services. Investigators are currently working to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the man's death, and no specific cause of death has been confirmed at this time.
