Four Turks were arrested by police officers in Rhodes on Thursday afternoon as they were spotted carrying out work on a telecommunications tower without a licence.

The four Turks were spotted, according to information from Greek National Intelligence Service (NIS), at a corner located above the Lindos Regional Medical Center.

The Turks claimed that they had been hired by a Greek company but, it was discovered, they did not carry a license from the National Telecommunications & Postal Commission (EETT) for this work, nor a work permit.

All four have reportedly been investigated by the NIS in the past for their activities.

They will be brought before the Office of the Public Prosecutor today for further action.
