Thessaloniki police solve series of frauds and thefts

Police in Thessaloniki have solved a series of thefts and fraud cases, resulting in criminal proceedings against 11 individuals.

Officers from the Charilaou-Analiapseos Crime Investigation Department uncovered two fraud schemes where suspects impersonated an accountant and an employee of the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (DEDDIE). A 31-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man are identified as the perpetrators, having allegedly stolen approximately 35,000 euros in jewelry and 6,100 euros in cash.

Additionally, investigations led to charges against a 20-year-old foreign national for attempted residential theft and a young man for a home burglary involving jewelry worth roughly 3,000 euros.

In the Pylaia-Chortiatis area, police filed charges against seven individuals, aged 16 to 76, for five thefts from shops, vehicles, and public spaces, as well as one instance of computer fraud. These crimes occurred between October 2021 and June 2026. All case files will be submitted to the Thessaloniki Court of First Instance.
