-Yiangoulas was arrested several times but always managed to escape. Finally, on [[September 21]], [[1925]], the authorities caught up with him at his hideout on the foothills of [[Mount Olympus]]. The bandit had kidnapped two children of wealthy families and had demanded a large ransom, however, instead of the ransom, the police arrived. A gun battle ensued and Yiangoulas was killed along with his companions Pantos Babanis and Kostas Tsamitas. Their heads were placed on public display at [[Servia]].
