 In Avcılar, the outdoor unit of an air conditioner in the garden of a workplace and a slipper in the stairwell of a building were stolen. The moments of theft in two different neighborhoods were captured on security cameras.

The first incident occurred in a building on G116th Street in Yeşilkent Neighborhood. Three women entered the building and began wandering floor by floor. One of the women, who went up to the second floor, stole a slipper located in front of an apartment, reportedly worth 2,000 lira on the market, and fled.

WHEN STRUGGLING TO CARRY THE UNIT...

The second theft incident took place on Rüzgarlı Street in Ambarlı Neighborhood. Two suspects walking down the street with a handcart, known as a 'çekçek', spotted the outdoor air conditioner unit of a workplace. After checking the surroundings, one of the suspects, who covered their face with a cloth, tore the 10,000-lira worth outdoor unit from its spot on the garden floor. Struggling to carry the unit due to its weight, the suspect abandoned it and fled upon seeing people entering the building. After a while, the theft suspect returned to the scene with their friend, loaded the outdoor unit onto the handcart, and escaped.
