Dozens of burglaries, robberies, car thefts and other crimes are in the list of the attackers, who killed two policemen in the region of Randy in March this year. The criminals are specialized in car thefts and spare parts for them, mainly from car-rental companies and car agencies. The authorities have found that one of the stolen cars is the same they used to escape after the shooting in Rendi.
A review of the activities of the gang of Greeks and immigrants shows that for the past six months it has stolen over 60 cars, dozens of computers and laptops, and 20 lambs from a tavern in the region of Vary in Attica.
In May this year after two months of investigation, the police arrested eleven people, who are members of a criminal group specializing in robberies. Among them are the two suspects for the death of the policemen in early March. They are immigrants from the former Soviet Union at the age of 36 and 28 years. According to Athens News Agency, the police are now investigating in detail the targets of the gang. Nine from those captured in May are now accused of creating and participating in a criminal organization, burglary and theft. Eight of them are foreigners, and one is Greek. Police are still searching for five of their accomplices, aged between 25 and 34 years.
The "activities" of the thieves include also some very daring performances like the one on December 9, 2010, when they raided the office of a car agency and stole six cars. After two days, they returned to the same agency, tied an employee of the representation, pushed her in the trunk of the car and stole eight cars more.
The areas where the thieves have acted are mainly in and around the capital and the neighbourhoods of Peristeri, Nea Philadelphia Nea Eritrea, Aspropyrgos, Kordalos, Iliupouli, Koropis, Moshato, and some representations located along Sigrou Avenue in the heart of Athens.
The bandits stole not only cars but whatever else seemed valuable - mobile phones, computers, landline phones, TVs, lambs, olive oil tins, car radio-CDs, cameras and other small and large objects. They have taken any cash they found, as their most important prey in cash is the robbery of a private house in Porto Rfti. From there, they took a safe-box containing 1,000 euros, jewelry, four TVs, a laptop, a cell phone and two cars. They even stole cosmetics worth 130,000 euros from a pharmacy in Iliupouli.
