Series of pharmacy burglaries reported in Dali

A pharmacy in Dali was burglarized early Monday morning, around 3:30 a.m., by an individual captured on CCTV. The perpetrator arrived on a motorcycle, used a heavy object to shatter the glass storefront, entered the premises, and targeted the cash register before fleeing the scene. While AlphaNews reports that multiple individuals may have been involved, ink.com describes a single perpetrator arriving by motorcycle.

This incident is part of a broader string of crimes in the area, including three recent pharmacy burglaries in Agia Varvara and separate break-ins at a pharmacy in Kallithea/Alampra and a bakery in Dali two weeks ago. Authorities suspect a single group or individual is responsible due to the consistent methodology across these events.

Local officials, including Mayor Stavros Chatzigiannis, have publicly expressed concern and frustration regarding the frequency of these attacks. The Mayor has called for increased police presence to protect local businesses, emphasizing that the community is suffering from constant financial losses and damages. No injuries were reported during the most recent incident, and the investigation into the series of crimes remains ongoing as authorities attempt to identify the perpetrators.
