What information was stolen?

Two men detained for 24 hours

An armed robbery took place in a private bank in Avcılar district of Istanbul province.

The robbery occurred at 14:00 and police teams were dispatched to the scene.

A person who came to the bank as a customer pointed his gun at the bank officer and asked for the money.

The suspect, who took the money, fled the scene on foot, according to reports.

Two people have been arrested over a bank robbery in Sofia, Emilia Rusinova, head of Sofia City Prosecutor's Office, told a press briefing at the Sofia Court House, Focus News Agency reported.

Police in Thessaloniki have arrested five suspected members of a robbery ring believed to have been operating in and around the northern port city following an armed raid on a company near the village of Kalohori.

The revelation that anti-tank missiles, an as yet undetermined number of rockets, and dozens of grenades and projectiles from the Greek Navy base on the Greek island of Lesvos have been stolen has rocked the Greek military.

Similar events occurred when Greek terrorist groups were established and when they reformed in order to bolster their power.

A day after Justice Minister Michalis Kalogirou submitted a reformed penal code to Parliament for debate, the union representing the country's prosecutors called for its withdrawal, complaining about several of its provisions that foresee the more lenient treatment of offenders.

Four armed robbers barged into a jewelry store in western Thessaloniki on Thursday night and removed jewelry valued at about 100,000 euros, police said.

Shortly after the robbery in Kalohori, officers found the burned escape car in the area of Evosmos. Police believe the robbers destroyed it to cover their tracks.

Justice Minister Michalis Kalogirou is planning to make significant changes to a series of proposed reforms to the Greek penal code that have been widely criticized, Kathimerini understands.
