A monk was arrested by authorities at Heraklion airport in Crete. According to eKriti, citing a police source, the monk was arrested because a pen-type weapon and three bullets were found during a search of his luggage.
The police handcuffed the monk, and according to the Cretan media outlet, the monk stated that he is from Mount Athos.

In what appears to be a crime filled few days in Crete, two people were accused of violating the Law on Narcotics and were handcuffed in an area of the Municipality of Mylopotamos by police officers.
After a search by police, they found and confiscated a quantity of cannabis weighing 30.1 grams, a small amount of cocaine and two improvised cigarettes containing cannabis mixed with tobacco.

Crete has always been a center of Greek criminality, from weapon crimes to narcotics, specifically the production of cannabis.
Often these trades are competed against by rival families that can often spill out in blood feuds known as vendettas.
