The only "industry" in Greece that do not suffer from the crisis is crime as became clear in recent years, taking into account the data of the relevant services. From January to July 2011 were made around 300 thefts in retail shops, 250 homes were also robbed, and 107 mini markets and at least 30 kiosks. The incidence of crime is much higher than in the past few years and is largely due to the expansion of organized crime. From pocket-picking and theft of handbags and mobile phones to organized in detail armed robberies of bank branches and homes. Extortions and kidnappings are also becoming more popular. They are over 50 in the first seven months of this year but are rarely successful for the kidnappers.
The day of the big strikes was difficult for the police in the area of ??Attica still in the morning, after fire was opened on them before carrying out the usual inspection of documents in the area of ??Makropoulos. There are no injuries but an investigation is underway, looking for suspects. According to initial information, a police patrol has identified a suspect in a car and called a supportive group of DIAS to check the passengers. Once the driver noticed the police approaching the vehicle he put his foot down and his companions started to shoot at the police.
Hours before the incident in Makropoulos, the famous plastic surgeon Andreas Futsanos also became a victim of robbery when three youths broke into his house in the northern metropolitan suburb of Kifissia early in the morning. They had firearms and knives. They threatened his life and wanted all the cash in his home. The robbers walked off with around ? 100,000 and expensive watches.
In total, the robberies in Greece in the night between Tuesday and Wednesday were 12. Fortunately, there were no casualties. The residents of Athens coastal districts of Glyfada, Alima, Voula but also in the Paleo Psychico and other affluent areas of the capital live in particular fear. The thieves with Kalashnikov as the Greek media called them have already passed through these neighbourhoods. Heavily armed criminals invade homes to take everything valuable. The last time, they did not hesitate to rape a young mother in front of her husband, having taken the values in the home. The police are on the trail of criminals. According to the latest information, the investigation is in progress.
The average data show that approximately 20 crimes are committed per day. In terms of rising crime, it became clear that the government has cut 700 people from the DIAS team in the region of Attica. In April 2010, operational staff of DIAS was 1950 people, and today their number is 1250 people. Initially, Attica was divided into 170 patrol areas and today they are reduced to 90, but there are not always enough police officers. The officers serving in the group seem concerned about the reduction of their powers. "This group is important and achieved all its goals," said the representative of the Metropolitan Police Vassilis Doumas. He stressed that the officers patrolling effectively and the motor cycles allow them to improve the security in the neighbourhoods because they are easily mobile and powerful. Until now, only in the capital, the government cut 30% of the patrolling policemen of DIAS and it is not known whether the cuts will continue despite rising crime.
