PRESS RELEASE
Four (4) people arrested in Zakynthos and Kefalonia for noise pollution
The last twenty-four hours (03-08-2019 and 04-08-2019) were arrested in Zakynthos and Kefalonia, by police officers of the Zakynthos and Kefalonia Police Directorates, four (4) nationals of 23,53,26 and 32 years of age.
Specifically, the arrests were made during police audits to measure noise pollution using a special electronic device, which found that three (3) provisional officers in Zakynthos and one in Kefalonia were operating stores of public interest, disturbing the public.
The inspections are part of the policing activities of the tourist areas of the Ionian Islands and will continue intensively throughout the summer.
Those arrested were taken to the relevant Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Any chance the noise pollution team could get themselves to Waikiki bar on Lourdas beach. It’s 2am and the police come, the music goes off and within 5 minutes it’s back on again. The lights on the ocean can’t be much good for the turtles nesting along this stretch either.
