The same sources claim that evidence lead to the conclusion that one of the robbers is Giorgos Petrakakos aged 35, who is wanted as accomplice of terrorist Nikos Maziotis while the other two robbers are also known to authorities for armed robberies and other serious crimes.

The robbery took place at 14:00 on Friday when the three men entered shortly before closing time and held the staff at gunpoint. According to witnesses, they had changed their faces so that they could not be recognised and they escaped in a Toyota RAV4 four-wheel drive car that they later abandoned and set alight at Antikyra.

They then boarded an inflatable dinghy that they used to reach Kato Loutra, Xylokastro where they let the hostage go and made their getaway using unknown means.
