Kifisia: The minors’ criminal activity
It is emphasized that on the same evening before the arrest, the nine perpetrators along with another group of minors who are still being sought, approached a 17-year-old and with the threat of violence attempted to steal his watch and fled.
Immediately after at a nearby location, they attacked a young man with punches to the head while they also moved threateningly toward a young woman, however the victims escaped by boarding a bus. Subsequently, a few minutes later, the 9 minors pushed a 15-year-old and one of them kicked him in the back.
The minors were taken to the competent prosecutor.
