They appear to have purposely traveled here to commit the thefts, I hope they get whats coming to them!

Who is the Greek ?

Mr. Ipekci Arminak or Mr. Nadeem Ejaz ?

No Greek anywhere around

In Greece a few years ago many people from other countries got Greek passport due to a tailor made law just to vote at the elections and a specific political party to take advantage of their votes... Probably he was one of them...
