Nine inhumane disasters.
In the aftermath of the last Monday's earthquake, Turkish security forces
are continuing their efforts against wild-eyed looters targeting empty
and damaged buildings, markets and even aid TIRs (tractor-trailers).
According to the Justice Ministry, up to now, 57 people have been
arrested for looting and theft.
In Hatay, police arrested 10 individuals and a search of them and
their cars yielded 1 revolver, 11 bullets, 1 pump-action rifle, 1 cell
phone, 2 computers, 1 security camera, 2 grams of narcotics, 14,685 TL,
$1,700, 5 gold pieces.
At Istanbul Airport, police became suspicious of someone coming
from the earthquake region on a THY flight. The individual, named
Mehmet Kadir Umaç, had 112 emergency vests, along with computer
equipment belonging to the CE-KA Petrol company, which confirmed
to police that its earthquake-damaged gas station had been looted and
computers stolen. Umaç was charged with "theft by taking advantage
of the fear and confusion caused by a natural disaster" and jailed.
