Police arrest suspect over Peristeri jewel heist
Police have arrested a man suspected of being involved in an armed robbery at a jewellery shop in Peristeri, western Athens.
The shop was held up by three men wielding a handgun on Saturday morning, police said. They fled in a car after stealing an unknown amount of merchandise.
The getaway car was discovered in the parking lot of Karaiskaki Stadium in Neo Faliro, south of Athens. Officers of the motorcycle-riding DIAS squad later arrested a man who was found carrying a gun.
Police were looking for the other two suspects.
No one was injured during the robbery.
