We remind you that recently the  church of Agios Haralambos, Zakynthos,  was burgled around 11 o’clock at night on Wednesday, August 31.

A Police team arrived at the church, collected evidence and fingerprints to identify the perpetrators. A team from the Archaeological Service also arrived on the scene as the church of Agios Haralambis has been a declared historical monument.
Reports now state that during the spontaneous procedure, in the evening hours, yesterday (05.09.2022), in Zakynthos, by police officers of the Security Department, two citizens – a man and a woman – were arrested and a criminal case was filed against them for the crime of aggravated theft.In particular, after using information, a police operation was organized, which led to the identification and arrest of the above, as it turned out that on Monday night (04.09.2022) they broke the door of the Holy Church of Agios Haralambous, with the intention of stealing once again, without completing their act.

In the search that followed in the house of the arrested, various tools were found and confiscated, as well as all the stolen objects, which were returned to the vicar of the Holy Temple.
