Another pharmacy break-in occurred in the early morning hours in Dali, with video footage capturing, frame by frame, the moment the perpetrators threw large rocks at the windows, break in, and grab whatever they can find before fleeing.
As seen on the closed-circuit surveillance footage, the perpetrators acted with lightning-fast movements around 3:30 a.m., smashing the glass entrance to the premises.
According to reports, this is not an isolated incident, as three similar break-ins have been recorded at pharmacies in Agia Varvara, while two weeks ago, a pharmacy in Kallithea/Alambra and a bakery in Dali were targeted.
The perpetrators’ modus operandi leads to the conclusion that these are the same individuals.

Mayor Stavros Hatzigiannis spoke about the incident on the “Alpha Kalimera” show, emphasizing the need for increased police presence, while also expressing the local community’s deep outrage and concern.
“This is a cycle that must be broken. We can’t just have business owners counting their damages and losses every weekend. Fortunately, no one was injured yesterday. They operate in the same way; the only thing that changes is the type of rock they throw,” he said, among other things.
The police have launched a manhunt to locate and arrest the perpetrators, using footage from closed-circuit surveillance cameras and evidence gathered from the crime scenes.
