Private school owner falls victim to burglary (pics)

Scary moments for an Ekali family

The owner of a well-known private school came face-to-face with three burglars when he entered his home at Ekali, north of the Athens center. The burglars had tried to grab money and jewelry from his home, but he caught them in the act upon entering his home shortly after 8 p.m. with his wife and their two children.

As they entered the driveway, one of the gang of burglars who was standing guard struck the car with a hammer and stunned the family. Upon hearing the commotion, the other three burglars ran off, taking two safety boxes with them but dropping one on the way out.

The owner of the house did not get out of the car but as he reversed he crashed into another car, possibly the one used by the burglars to arrive at the house on Danai Street, Ekali.

The police are investigating the case.
