[01] Two dead in police chase of vehicle carrying illegal immigrants
(ANA-MPA) -- A 53-year-old local man and the driver of a fleeing
vehicle carrying illegal immigrant were killed in a two-car collision
on Sunday evening near the northern city of Kavala. Additionally, two
policemen in a separate patrol car and five illegals in getaway car
were slightly injured.
According to authorities, the probe of a suspected immigrant smuggling
ring near Kavala led to the detection of two cars emerging from a
forested area in the Aghios Syllas site. The first vehicle was stopped
and the driver, a Syrian national was arrested along with eight
illegals, four Iraqis and four Palestinians.
The other car sped away but crashed with another passing car and then
with the patrol car on the old Amfipolis-Serres-Kavala motorway.
Both cars used by the suspects had been stolen, one in the Attica
prefecture and the other in Fthiotida prefecture.
