Turks on jet ski planned island bank heists: Greek officials
ATHENS - The Associated Press
A coast guard statement on Sept. 7 said scrutiny of the two men’s mobile phones produced “indications” of the alleged heist plans.
The brothers were detained on a Chios beach on Sept. 5. They allegedly told coast guards that their jet ski had broken down, forcing them to land on the island that a narrow strait separates from Turkey. But the jet ski was found to be working fine, which prompted a closer investigation.
Both were charged with illegally entering Greece and conspiring to commit a crime.
Scores of refugees and migrants reach Chios from Turkey every week.
