A shocking theft incident occurred in the Kızkalesi neighborhood of Erdemli district in Mersin. When the apartment owner, İrfan Nergiz, returned home, he noticed that the electricity in the building's stairwell was cut off. Upon entering his apartment, he saw that his door was open and the interior doors were broken. Realizing that a thief had entered his home, Nergiz called the 112 Emergency Call Center to report the incident. Police teams who arrived at the scene determined in their initial investigation that thefts had also occurred in 7 other apartments in the same building. It was found that the thieves had entered some apartments by breaking the balcony windows and carried the stolen items out through the balconies.
THEY WERE CAUGHT ON CAMERA
Police teams began examining the security camera footage from businesses and hotels in the area. Suspects who entered and exited the building and were surveilling the surroundings were identified by reviewing the security cameras. Additionally, the security cameras captured the thieves leaving the apartment with the stolen items. The identified theft suspects, M.Ş., S.K., C.S., and S.D., were caught in simultaneous raids conducted by the Erdemli police.
THEY DISMANTLED WHAT THEY COULDN'T CARRY
During the interrogation of the thieves, the police also identified the places where the stolen items were sold. As part of the investigation, it was revealed that the thieves dismantled the motors of refrigerators they had difficulty carrying, and in addition, they stole items such as microwave ovens, electric water dispensers, beds, air conditioners, and televisions from the homes.
THEY EVEN PLAYED BACKGAMMON
In the examinations of the homes that were robbed, it was determined that the suspects stayed in the apartments for a while, drank cold beverages left over from summer, and played backgammon.
"IT WAS LIKE A WAR ZONE"
Irfan Nergiz, one of the residents of the apartment that was robbed, described what he saw with the following words: "I haven't been to my apartment for 6 months. When I came to my apartment in the evening, I saw that the doors were open. When I looked inside, everything was messy. As I walked through the rooms, I realized that a theft had occurred in my apartment. They took my white goods, and they dismantled the air conditioner. It looked like a war zone. As I was going down the stairs, I noticed that all the apartment doors were open. I immediately called the police and filed a complaint. These people had been watching the houses for a long time, and then they carried out the theft."
"THEY BROUGHT THE WATER DISPENSER TO THE DOOR BUT COULDN'T TAKE IT"
Ümit Sanlı, the wife of Erdal Sanlı, the Honorary Deputy President of the Supreme Court, whose apartment was robbed, stated that her neighbors called to inform her that thieves had entered the apartments. Sanlı mentioned that they left the house in a tidy and clean manner when they left, saying, "The house is now in disarray. They brought other people's belongings. They took our white goods. They brought the water dispenser to the door but couldn't take it." The police, who are continuing the interrogation of the 4 theft suspects taken into custody during the operation, are continuing the investigation related to the incident.
