Three arrested in string of petrol station hold-ups

Three Albanian nationals, aged 22 to 30, were arrested Tuesday night by Thessaloniki security police charged with a series of hold-ups at petrol stations. 
 
Two of the suspects were arrested as they attempted to hold up a petrol station at the 14th kilometre of the Thessaloniki-Edessa interstate highway, while the third Albanian was arrested later. 
 
The detainees are charged with at least four other armed robberies at petrol stations in the last three weeks. 
 
They will be taken before a public prosecutor, while the investigation was continuing for possible accomplices.
