The action of a criminal gang allegedly playing police forces is alarming in order to gain access to homes and remove money and valuable items from unsuspecting citizens.
The experts reportedly use luxury vehicles equipped with beacons, which refer to safety vehicles to become more convincing. By various pretexts they ask tenants to open the door to them, taking advantage of the trust that citizens show to the authorities.
Typical is the incident recorded on video and presented by STAR. In this two men are seen arriving outside an elderly man's residence in Markopoulos and knocking on her door, asking to allow them in.

The woman described that her strangers shed a bright light on her face, and then left the point. Immediately after the incident, the elderly contacted the Greek Police to report the incident.
Authorities closely monitor the case and conduct investigations to identify and arrest the perpetrators. At the same time, they appeal to citizens to be particularly careful and not to allow entry into persons who declare police officers without having previously confirmed their identity and details.
Police officers also recommend that citizens communicate directly with ‘100’ if they notice suspicious moves or receive a visit from persons who invoke the status of police officer without sufficient identification.
