In Varkiza, a high-speed chase concluded late Wednesday night (24/06/2026) after two suspects allegedly stole a sum of money from a local resident—reportedly wrapped in aluminum foil. During the pursuit through the coastal Athens suburb, the suspects’ vehicle collided with a small van at an unspecified location in the area.
Crash and Escape
The impact forced the two young occupants to abandon their car and flee on foot toward the nearby beach.
Witness Intervention
An eyewitness who happened upon the scene witnessed the crash and approached the damaged vehicle to check whether the occupants were injured. According to his statement, he opened the car door using the handle—unaware that doing so might compromise potential forensic evidence for investigators.
Inside the abandoned vehicle, authorities later discovered a large amount of cash. The witness has since been summoned to give a formal statement to police about what he observed during the incident.
Investigations into the identities and whereabouts of the suspects remain ongoing.
