Two Greek citizens, aged 48 and 58 years, were arrested on violations of the laws "For the Protection of Antiquities and Heritage" and "On Weapons," after a thorough investigation of the police bureau of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage from Thessaloniki.
Specifically, at noon on 9 February, bureau officers conducted an inspection of stores of interest to health inspectors, owned by the 48 year old in a village in Serres, where they found and seized the following:
A portable icon depicting Saints Constantine and Helen
A portable icon depicting John the Baptist
An air revolver.
According to opinion by a competent archaeologist of the 12th Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities Kavala , the first icon falls within the protective provisions of the aforementioned Law.
As a result of the police investigation, the icons were supplied by the 58 year old, on the morning of the same day.
