Greek police conducted a large-scale operation in the Athens suburb of Ano Liosia, leading to the arrest of six suspects aged 20 to 64 allegedly involved in an organized drug trafficking network.
According to police sources, the suspects had converted their homes into drug-selling points, a setup uncovered after days of discreet surveillance by the Western Attica Drug Enforcement Unit. Officers monitored the houses, recording the movement of suspected buyers before launching the coordinated raid.
Four Simultaneous Raids and an Attempted Escape
The operation took place on November 3, targeting four separate residences. In one location, a 23-year-old man attempted to escape by climbing onto the rooftop but was quickly apprehended. In another, two suspects were caught trying to dispose of their drug stash as officers entered.
Police seized over 200 grams of unprocessed cannabis, €3,675 in cash, three surveillance camera systems, and a precision scale believed to be used for drug measurement.
Homes Fortified Against Police Raids
Investigators were struck by the level of security infrastructure the suspects had installed. Their homes were reportedly reinforced with metal security doors, external shutters, and surveillance cameras. Some entrances even featured outward-opening bolts, designed to delay or block police access during a raid.
During the same operation, police also detained another man who had just purchased a small quantity of cannabis from the alleged dealers.
