A steel safe weighing 200 kilograms, stolen two days ago by three suspects in Fatih, Istanbul, was found in an empty lot in Başakşehir. It was determined that the safe contained $10,000, checkbooks, and personal belongings. While the contents of the safe were confirmed to be stolen, the police took action to apprehend the suspects.

Three suspects, who concealed their faces, escaped after stealing a steel safe weighing approximately 200 kilograms containing 10 thousand dollars, checkbooks, and personal belongings from a cargo shop they entered in Fatih early in the morning. The emptied safe was found two days later in an empty lot in Başakşehir.

The incident occurred at a cargo business located in Kumkapı during the night. The three suspects, hiding their faces with masks and hats, broke into the workplace by prying open the shutter with a crowbar. Two suspects, struggling to carry the approximately 200-kilogram steel safe, were assisted by a person waiting outside. The suspects managed to remove the safe from the shop in 4 minutes and fled.
