Three, including well-known ‘trapper,’ arrested for ATM robberies

A 28-year-old trapper musician and two accomplices who robbed ATMs with explosives were led to prison pending trial after appearing before an Athens prosecutor on Wednesday.

According to the police the criminal ring amassed approximately 700,000 euros using explosives and a metal cutting wheel to break into ATMs in remote areas in Greece, in some eight separate incidents. They are also charged with attempted murder against police officers.

Confessing and apologizing for his criminal behaviour to the prosecutor, the trapper claimed that he did not participate in an incident that took place in the city of Egio in October, where police officers were shot at, without casualties.

They then “laundered” the money in the trap music scene and casinos.
