A Sony PlayStation helped the police arrest 15 members of a gang that specialized in stealing company safes in Greece last week. According to the police's press release [1], the gang members were involved in 145 cases, including 58 armed robberies, 52 burglaries, and 24 car thefts. In order to evade detectives, the gang used hundreds of cellphones, stolen cars, fake license plates, and diverse hideouts. The "Kathimerini" daily newspaper reports [2] that one of the leads that helped the police to narrow down on the gang's members was a Sony PlayStation. In December 2016 the gang stole from a company 700 euros and a truck with 2179 PlayStation consoles. The police, in cooperation with Sony and the local ISPs, found that one of the stolen consoles was used the next day at the house of one of the gang members.
