Thief's plea for mercy: "Too cute to resist!"
When Polina Çolak departed Istanbul on vacation she left her
Yorkshire Terrier "Jako" in the care of a female friend. At around
noon on 20 January, the friend went to a park in Mecidiyeköy,
Istanbul, with her own dog on a leash and "Jako" was unleashed.
A man sitting on a bench in the park called to "Jako" and when
the dog came the man scooped him up and quickly fled the park.
Police reviewed security camera footage and identified the dog thief as
M.D., who has a police record of seven crimes. Çolak appealed to the
thieves, saying "Jako is a part of our family. I miss the scent so please
bring back Jako. If you need money I'll give you 30,000 TL." A
respondent to this plea confirmed that he had the dog and would return
it for the money.
But Çolak informed the police about this development and a sting was
set up for last Thursday. When the thieves arrived at the agreed-upon
exchange point with "Jako" police nabbed M.Ç. and M.A., who were
both taken into custody, while "Jako" was turned over to Çolak. M.Ç.
and M.A. were charged with "theft of an animal" but released (!). As
for M.D., he is being sought by police as a fugitive.
There's a reason for a leash.
