THEY STEAL WHATEVER THEY FIND IN TERMS OF METAL
In Hatay, where the wounds of the earthquake are being healed, individuals who earn money by collecting scrap continue to steal whatever they find in terms of metal in the city. Manhole thefts frequently occur in the Antakya district. Recently, a manhole cover on the street in the Industrial Site was stolen by thieves with a horse-drawn cart. In the footage captured by a security camera of a business, it can be seen that the thieves stole the manhole cover instantly.
"WE ARE WORRIED, SOMETHING IS STOLEN EVERY DAY"
Semih Aydın, who noticed the theft of the manhole cover from the camera, said, "I looked at the camera footage in our workplace. The thieves came around 6 in the morning. They took the manhole cover with a horse-drawn cart. I called the police. I called HATSU and filed a complaint. We are worried, something is stolen every day in the industrial site. We are afraid that our shop will also be stolen. The thieves were very comfortable in the security camera."
"THEY LIFT AND TAKE IT AWAY WITH A HORSE-DRAWN CART IN 10 SECONDS"
From what I saw on the security camera, they are not afraid of anything. They don't care about the camera either. They pose a danger. They lift and take it away with a horse-drawn cart in 10 seconds. If vehicles don't notice, they fall. I put a handcart so that cars don't pass," he said.
