Greek Robin Hoods raid supermarket to protest rising prices

Thessaloniki, Greece - Greek anarchists raided a supermarket in the northern port city of Thessaloniki and handed out food for free in protest soaring consumer prices, reports said Friday.

About 50 unarmed robbers loaded up trolleys with pasta, milk and other products before storming out of the store without paying, shouting slogans against recent price hikes.

The masked gang then began distributing the stolen goods to people in the street, imitating a spate of similar robberies in grocery stores across Athens during the summer.

The robbers, most of them believed to be women, have never stolen money or hurt anyone in their actions.
