Larissa youth crime arrests

Entities: 18‑year‑old accomplice (unnamed) · white‑gold chain · Two 20‑year‑old suspects (unnamed) · Electric scooter · minor victims

Overview

In late July 2026 Greek police in Larissa detained a group of youths for a series of violent offences. Two 20‑year‑olds, a minor and an 18‑year‑old, together with an unidentified accomplice, assaulted a 17‑year‑old pedestrian in an underground passage near the Prophet Elias area on the night of 29‑30 July, striking him in the face and forcing him to surrender a white‑gold chain.
