A surprising incident in Thessaloniki has raised eyebrows after a private ambulance crew was accused of stealing a cardiograph from a local hospital. The police have pressed charges against a 37-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man, who were identified as the suspects involved in this unusual theft.

The alleged crime occurred following the transportation of a patient to the hospital by this duo, posing as ambulance crew members. Authorities were notified that during their departure, a cardiograph machine worth 1,800 euros had been taken.

The arrest was made after the police tracked down the ambulance and the stolen equipment to a closed parking facility in the area of Pefka, reportedly used by the female suspect. The equipment was subsequently confiscated.

Investigations are ongoing as the authorities piece together the details of this creatively planned theft, emphasizing the legal processes and consequences that follow such actions.
