Today, there’s less traffic at the Agios Dometios checkpoint, which leads to the occupied areas. People are noticing a smoother flow and shorter wait times. However, the authorities haven’t explained why traffic has decreased.
Even with the lighter traffic, the Police are still doing thorough checks on people and vehicles. They use special tools to find illegal substances and other banned items, making sure everyone can pass safely.
Yesterday, Customs Department officers found 10 plastic containers in a vehicle during an inspection. Each container held 20 liters, totaling 160 liters of diesel and 40 liters of gasoline. The 80-year-old driver was arrested for serious offenses, and both the fuel and vehicle were taken. He was later released after paying an out-of-court settlement of 1,000 euros.
