There must be something easier to steal than sand.
Scenes of beaches plundered by sand thieves in Antalya's Manavgat
district were captured by Gendarmerie drones. Following the
heartbreaking scenes, which turned the beaches into sand pits, the
Gendarmerie began patrolling the area from land and air.
Manavgat District Gendarmerie Command Central Station teams
launched an operation against sand thieves in the Mendirek area the
night before, following a tip-off from residents. Construction
equipment and trucks found to be loading sand in the area were seized.
Not a low-profile heist.
The sand-laden trucks, which had noticed the gendarmerie teams and
attempted to flee after ignoring the "stop" warning, were apprehended
after a chase. Three people were detained in the operation, and efforts
are ongoing to apprehend two other suspects. As part of the
investigation, five trucks and three excavators believed to have been
used in the sand theft in the Ulualan area were towed to a parking lot.
Seydi İ., one of the suspects, was arrested at the courthouse and sent
to prison.
