To invade the houses they had targeted, they had reached the point of pretending that one was pregnant. One of their victims described to the principles how their way of acting:
“We were rang the bell two women. At home at that moment it was my mother and my minor son. They asked if the apartment manager was in the apartment. Stir the space, removed from my bedroom drawer 5,500 euros.
They were betrayed by security cameras
The two women seem to have not calculated that they were recorded by security cameras, and their third accomplice is involved in the case. Homeowner described to the authorities how he identified them:
“Outside my apartment there is a ‘smart bell’ for security reasons with a picture mechanism and audio, which is connected to the internet and sends me a notification to my mobile in the event of a movement. While I was on the stand, I received such alert. In the video I saw three women standing at the door. In her hand.
Compensation to victims and out of prison
Authorities managed to identify two of the three women through photos.
Both were released on restrictive terms. The former claimed that she had nothing to do with robberies, while the second compensated her victims, even giving extra money.
The practice of compensation, which several defendants choose by law, allows them to avoid imprisonment, and even go unpunished. However, in many cases, the same people return to criminal action, following the same pattern.
The lawyer of one of the defendants, Yiannis Barkagiannis, told Newpost:
“My client insists that he had no involvement in the robberies. Photos and videos show a different face and our claims were accepted by the investigating authorities, who released her.”
