Armed with Kalashnikov rifles three Albanian robbers broke into the house of a woman in Painia village of Attica prefecture, 50 kilometers east of Athens. They stormed in the house where the 69-year-old woman was sleeping. They woke her up, they threatened her with the weapons and turn her home upside down in search of cash and valuable items.
While in the hands of the violent robbers, the woman begged them not to harm her because she had recently undergone a waste operation.
Before leaving the house with 1,000 euro, jewelry, some golden coins and her car, the robbers gave the upset woman one …Lexotanil so that she would calm down and cope with the operation pain.
Thankful to have escaped an outbreak of violence, the woman kissed one of the … ‘merciful’ robbers on the cheek. That’s what she told news portal NewsIt adding that the robbers were unmasked and spoke Albanian with each other. IT looks as if the woman was speaking Albanian as well.
Greece experienced a crime surge during the last days with the authorities unable to respond effectively to citizens’ protection. Murders, armed robberies, home invasions, thefts and assaults on the streets have recorded a dramatic increase across the entire Greek territory.
The majority of victims are elderly who get beaten, tied and even murdered at their homes as thieves lurk mainly for cash.
There is no statistics though if the crime surge has to do with the massive money withdrawal from the banks out of fear for a return to drachma.
However minors fall also into victims of thieves’ attacks who steal everything a youngster can have: a mobile phone, a bike and some euro coins…
One thing the news doesn’t focus on is if there is any link to how the thieves choose their victims? Is it just houses away from other people, or also houses in very high populated areas with neighbors close by etc. I am always wondering why these thieves are not afraid that some neighbor will hear the noise and call the police.
it happens everywhere whether remote or overcrowded. Armed with kalashnikovs and other weapons, why should they being afraid?
