Georgian Burglars Used GPS Devices and Locksmiths to Target Homes in Attica

Greek authorities have apprehended Georgian burglars who targeted homes and businesses across Attica using sophisticated methods. On Thursday, March 27, 2025, two Georgian burglars, aged 54 and 43, were arrested for multiple break-ins and thefts in the Attica region. An arrest warrant is also pending for a third accomplice, a 26-year-old man believed to have fled back to Georgia. The investigation revealed that the burglars used GPS devices attached to victims’ vehicles to ensure their absence during heists. They meticulously planned each operation, employing locksmiths to bypass high-tech locks without leaving any traces. The total value of stolen goods exceeds €15,000. Authorities are examining the suspects’ involvement in dozens of additional crimes. The leader, a 54-year-old Georgian, played a pivotal role in selecting targets, coordinating operations, and managing finances. His accomplice, the 43-year-old, acted as the primary executor, showcasing expertise in lock-breaking techniques. Both men have prior criminal records involving similar offenses. Investigations continue to locate the third member, with an anticipated European arrest warrant issuance in the coming days.
