Three arrested and 102 detained during operation in Exarchia

Three people were arrested for drug-related offences and 102 were detained during a sweeping operation in the Athens district of Exarchia on Thursday, according to a police report later the same day.

The operation started early on Thursday morning and concluded several hours later.

Among those detained is a 49-year-old woman that escaped during a raid by the coast guard in Exarchia the previous week.

Police said they had evacuated two buildings on Tzavella Street while the three arrests were carried out in an apartment looking on Exarchia Square.
