Police in Greece have announced the arrest of 26 individuals in connection with an antiquities looting network that had been operating for 10 years. The announcement showed the recovery of more than 2,000 objects, including coins, jewelry, and other objects. Two individuals were arrested last Sunday at the Greek-Bulgarian border with an astounding 1,000 coins and small portable objects hidden in the bumper of their car.
Police also confiscated metal detectors, guns, currency, and materials used to counterfeit currency.
The arrests on Sunday were the culmination of a 14-month investigation which may have involved as many as 50 people.

I think what you published was very reasonable. But, wha about
this? suppose you composed a catchiker post title? I am
not saying your content isn’t solid., but what iif you added a post title to maybe grab
people’s attention? I mean A strong connection between looting and organized crime inn Greece – Illicit Cultural Property is kinda vanilla.
You ought to peek at Yahoo’s front page and watch how
they create post headlines to grab people to open the links.
You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab people interesyed about what you’ve written. Just my opinion,
it would ring your posts a little bit more interesting.
