Passersby at Monastiriou Street in Thessaloniki encountered a surprise in the early hours of Wednesday when 10 prostitutes working the street flung off their bras and started dancing in the street. A resident of the area tried to call the police but there was nobody answering the phones. At the police station, the officer who was supposed to be there was in the neighboring café.

Meanwhile, in the framework of checks of street walkers in the district of Thessaloniki over the last three days, police emergency services have arrested nine street workers – seven foreigners and two Greeks – for unlawful solicitation. The arrests were made at Giannitson Street.
