Greek man arrested with stash of antiquities

THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) - Greek police arrested a
veterinarian with more than 2,000 illegally
excavated antiquities, including a small clay statue
from pre-Columbian America, officials said Friday.

Police in the northern district of Halkidiki said
the 47-year-old Greek man was arrested Thursday in
the village of Nea Moudania, about 40 miles
(60 kilometers) south of Thessaloniki.

The items were found in the man's home and at his
shop that sells items for pets. Police also
confiscated a .22-caliber revolver found in the
man's car.

The confiscated antiquities included more than
1,500 silver and copper coins dating from the 4th
century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D., Halkidiki
anti-crime squad director Giorgos Tassiopoulos
said. Police seized another 680 clay and bronze
artifacts, including vases, lamps, statuettes
and jewelry.

All appeared to be Greek, apart from a
pre-Colombian clay figurine from central or
southern America. By law, all antiquities found
in Greece are state property.
