One motorcyclist was fined €2,425 after running signals and causing property damage.
Four drivers were arrested in Thessaloniki over the past 24 hours for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Among them was a 31-year-old motorcyclist who ignored repeated police stop signals, ran a red light and drove the wrong way down a one-way street before crashing into another vehicle, causing property damage. Police said he was heavily intoxicated and was issued five traffic violations carrying fines totaling €2,425.
A 37-year-old driver was arrested after fleeing a police stop at high speed, making dangerous maneuvers and crashing into a pole in the city center.
Two other drivers, aged 42 and 26, were arrested in separate incidents in the Sfageia district and downtown Thessaloniki.
The arrests followed police checks over the last day, with the four suspects now in custody as authorities continue their processing of the cases.
