In the parking lot of the city's largest shopping mall located in the Karakoyunlu neighborhood of the Eyyübiye district of Şanlıurfa, an incident occurred where the tires of 18 vehicles were slashed and punctured by unidentified individuals. Following the incident, police teams conducted an investigation in the area and initiated efforts to identify and apprehend the suspect or suspects. Vehicle owners filed complaints against both the management for security deficiencies and for the apprehension and punishment of the suspects.
"WE NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CITY " Servet Dağ, a disabled individual who went to the mall with his family, said, "Yesterday, on June 6, the first day of the holiday, we went down with my son's car between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM. We said let's walk around the mall. The kids wanted to explore. We parked our car here. Of course, many vehicles like ours were parked. It didn't take long, about half an hour, we went in and out. When we returned, the tires of our vehicle were punctured, or rather, slashed with a knife. We called the police; it wasn't just one vehicle, many vehicles around had their tires punctured in the same way. The police came and checked. 18 vehicle owners had filed complaints. Among these 18 vehicles, some had one tire, some had two tires slashed and punctured. They ruined our psychology just before this holiday. Look, today is the second day of the holiday, I told my children let's go out and have fun, but they said we are not leaving the house. They were scared; as a disabled citizen, I question how safe we are in this city. Right now, the police forces have come regarding this issue.
"HE SLASHES TIRES AND JUST SITS AND WATCHES" The mall's camera footage was obtained. A person appeared in the camera footage. According to one of our officer's statements, he slashes the tires and just sits and watches. I mean, the man shamelessly slashes the tires of so many vehicles, performs an act, and then sits and watches it. I want this person to be caught and arrested. I request our governor Hasan Şıldak to pay attention to this issue. I ask our police chief Atilla Aksoy to consider this matter; look, 18 vehicles mean 18 families, and now how will these families let their children go outside? They poisoned this holiday. I mean, as adults, we can somehow console ourselves. You can't explain this to a child. This is also a form of terrorism. Why is he slashing the tires of 18 vehicles? Today, the smallest damage was 3,000 lira. The highest damage was 18,000 lira for each vehicle. Based on what does he inflict damage, based on whom? I want this person to be caught," he expressed.
