Police in Thessaloniki arrested two men and a woman accused of trafficking heroin and seized more than a kilo of the drug.
Officers carried out the operation on Friday morning, police said. The heroin haul weighed 1.014 kilos.
Authorities also seized equipment used to process and dilute the drug, including a precision scale. Police found €1,917, four cellphones, and three cars, one of which had been reported stolen.
In Thessaloniki, police searched a house. They also searched a sack in the regional unit of Imathia, west of the city, with help from a specially trained dog.
The three suspects, a 33-year-old man, a 19-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman, were said to have formed a gang to store and trade in heroin at least since October.
