What is happening

What the sources report

A 20-year-old was arrested after a motorcycle chase shortly after 23:30 on Sunday evening (1/11) in western Thessaloniki.[1]

According to the police, he was riding a motorcycle without a registration plate and reached high speed on the Regional Road to avoid an imminent check.[2]

He made gestures at the police officers who were following him, and in Neapoli he successively ran three red lights, driving against the flow of traffic.[2]

In Polichni he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into two parked vehicles.[1]

The investigation revealed that in mid-July 2026 his driving licence had been revoked, as he was driving without a licence of competence and without an insurance policy.[2]
