Moment thief snatches chain from old woman on TV

SKAI Reporter George Tselikas was at Alimos beach, waiting to do his piece to camera, when in the background a bizarrely brazen robbery took place, right in front of the cameras. As an old woman was enjoying the beach, a young man with a blurry face snuck up behind her and snatched a gold cross she was wearing around her neck. He then ran off, straight past the cameras, much to the bemusement of Tselikas. The footage was later replayed, quite a few times, with the attacker’s face blurred in compliance with local laws. The unblurred version has been shared with the police following the story breaking. ‘I’ve been here since five minutes to five in the morning,’ Tselikas told the rest of the news team. ‘He had an accomplice, they were here walking around, I also thought they wanted to take a bath.’ The woman was equally confused, joining Tselikas on camera. ‘I went to wash and he came and took my cross. I didn’t understand.’ Do you understand?
