Police in Arta identified a suspect in connection with a phone fraud targeting a local resident. Investigators said the alleged scam took place on 29 October 2026 in Arta. A caller, posing as an employee of the D.E.D.D.H.E., told the woman there was a fire risk at her home due to work being carried out to install fibre optic cables. To convince her, the suspect allegedly persuaded the victim to leave outside the house money and valuables for safekeeping. Police said she handed over 1,570 euros and jewellery of unspecified value. The case file describes how the caller later allegedly took the cash and the valuables. The investigation was carried out by the Arta Crime Investigation Unit, and a case file has been submitted to the Prosecutor’s Office of Arta.
