A suspect is being sought for stealing 3 kilograms of gold and 100,000 lira from a jewelry store in a shopping mall that was closed two days ago in Adana. Police and rescue teams, evaluating the possibility that the suspect may still be hiding in the shopping mall, conducted a search with a rescue dog in the ventilation shafts.
POLICE TEAMS DISPATCHED TO THE CRIME SCENE
The incident occurred on the night of February 2 at a shopping mall in the Sinanpaşa neighborhood of the Yüreğir district. Private security personnel, noticing that the jewelry store's alarm had gone off, saw that there was a person inside the shuttered store. Upon the security personnel's report, police teams were dispatched to the scene.
THEY OPENED EACH STORE ONE BY ONE AND LOOKED INSIDE
Teams that also informed the staff of other stores in the shopping mall searched for the unidentified suspect in the stores they opened one by one. It was determined during the investigation that the suspect had stolen 3 kilograms of gold and 100,000 lira from the jewelry store. Despite the search conducted by store staff and police in the shopping mall, the suspect could not be found. Search efforts for the suspect, whose identity was determined from security camera footage, are ongoing.
WHEN SOUNDS CAME, THEY SEARCHED THE VENTILATION SHAFT
Upon hearing sounds from the ventilation shaft, police evaluated the possibility that the suspect might still be hiding in the shopping mall and conducted a comprehensive search in the shafts and in the corridors that were not used by citizens between the stores. AFAD teams, who were requested for support, also scanned with thermal devices but could not find any trace.
THE SUSPENDED CEILING WAS REMOVED AND A SEARCH WAS CONDUCTED
During the night hours, a search was conducted with a rescue dog. Police teams, who had cordoned off the area, also began examining footage from hundreds of security cameras in the vicinity. In the shopping mall, where customer entries and exits continued, some individuals heard sounds from the ceiling, leading to the removal of the suspended ceiling and a search conducted by personnel using a ladder, which was captured on camera.
