Arson Attack: Moment a Restaurant is Set on Fire in Áno Lióssia

A shocking arson attack occurred at a restaurant located in the central square of Áno Lióssia during the early hours of Clean Monday (03/03/2025). In a documentary video by Star, the exact moment an arsonist sets fire to the eatery is captured. According to the report, shortly after 4 a.m., a man wearing a fluorescent jacket and helmet arrived at the scene, broke into the establishment with a crowbar while holding a container. He then poured flammable liquid on the floor, forming a line, and set it alight. The flames quickly engulfed the kitchen area, causing the building’s alarm to activate. Immediate intervention by the Fire Department and Police prevented the fire from spreading to neighboring houses and the shop’s basement, where gas cylinders were stored, making the firefighting operation particularly challenging. The restaurant suffered severe material damage to both its dining area and kitchen. Authorities are currently conducting an investigation to identify the perpetrator.
