                  Birds ratted him out to the cops. 

In Istanbul's Beykoz district at about 6 o'clock in the morning
on 22 February, homeowner Ç.B. was awakened by noise 
coming from the bedroom bathroom.  Ç.B. then saw that the
bathroom ceiling was damaged and there was a bullet casing
on the floor.  Ç.B. called police and told them he had no 
enemies that would do such a thing. 

In a statement given to the police by İ.Y., another resident at
the same address, he said that on 19 February, a telephone caller
told him that "You owe G.Ê. 600,000 Euros.  If you don't pay
up I'll shoot you in the head!"  Evidently, İ.Y. was the target
of the extortionists, who mistakenly went to Ç,.B.'s home. (!)

The police investigation intensified and on 18 March 
simultaneous early morning raids were conducted on 
addresses in Beyoğlu, Esenyurt, Eyüpsultan, Şişli and Sarıyer.
S.S. (28), HebunY. (29) and Baran A. (18), who has a police 
record of 14 crimes, were taken into custody.  One of them tried 
to hide in a bird cage (!) on the roof of a hotel in Beyoğlu but 
was nabbed.  

After processing at the police station on 21 March, S.S. was
released on judicial supervision and Hebun Y. and Baran A.
were jailed. 

From Beykoz to Beyoğlu, as the crow flies...
