Analipsi

Severe problems were caused by the heavy downpour that hit Rhodes earlier Wednesday afternoon as part of the “Atena” storm. The heavy rainfall caused significant difficulties for traffic within the city.

The man who fatally shot a 50-year-old outside a gas station in the Thessaloniki district of Analipsi on Thursday turned himself in to police on Friday, according to Greek state broadcaster ERT. 

The shooter, 45, who is a father of three, arrived at the police station accompanied by his lawyer.

A 51-year-old man was shot dead by an unknown assailant in Thessaloniki, northern Greece, on Thursday.

The attack took place outside a gas station on Solomos street, in the area of Analipsi, at around 12.30 p.m. police said.

Eye-witnesses told police the victim quarrelled with the killer before he was shot. Authorities have launched a manhunt to find the shooter.

Parts of the city of Thessaloniki in northern Greece suffered temporary power outages on Monday morning.
According to reports, large parts of the city center, coastal districts, as well as the area of Analipsi and the neighborhoods of Saranta Ekklisies and Triandria were affected.
The outages were the result of technical problems after winds caused trees to fall on power cables.

Greek police on Wednesday announced the arrest of a man they believe to be the leader of a drug-dealing gang active in Thessaloniki and other parts of the country.

The 27-year-old was arrested on Tuesday after several days of surveillance, following a raid on his home in the area of Analipsi in Central Macedonia.
