An actor who had participated as a guest in the popular television series “Constantinos and Helens” was one of the members of the gang with the stolen cars in Attica, with their loot reaching 1 million.
The police tracked him down after monitoring the car workshop the actor has in Menidi. He was arrested for the ring that stole cars throughout Attica and allegedly obtained loot approaching 1 million euros.
According to Alpha, during the monitoring of the actor’s workshop, it was found that an improvised vehicle scrapping shop was operating next to it. A place, that is, where stolen cars ended up and were “broken” into pieces to sell their spare parts.
From the surveillance of the police it emerged that the improvised clearing house was set up in an unnamed street and had a high fence made of tin (so that it was not visible what was happening inside) and a large double door. The same sources note that the site was regularly visited by the leader of the ring in a closed van, in which he loaded car parts, paying for the dismantling of the vehicles.
The actor, who reportedly confessed to his actions, admitted to the police that he was the one who “cut up” the stolen vehicles to extract the spare parts. According to the publication, the gang in question, which is in the hands of the authorities, had, among other things, stolen the motorcycle of the well-known veteran football player, Stathis Tavlaridis.
A case file was filed against those arrested for case-by-case criminal organization, distinguished thefts by accomplice, by continuation and by profession, forgery, money laundering and violation of the law on weapons and drugs.
From the searches carried out as part of the operation, among others, the following were found and seized:
• 9 stolen vehicles,

• 1 stolen motorcycle,
• 8 vehicle frames (chassis), with the chassis number plates and their indication-stickers removed,
