No shame! Espousing "no smoking" but only for their scam.
In Bakırköy, Istanbul, T.Y.D. (23) put an ad on the internet to sell
a $40.000 watch. In response, he was invited by some prospective
buyers to come to their newly-rented office. Both parties agreed to
the sale, but the buyers put the watch in a "safe place" in their office
"until the cash arrives".
However (!), according to T.Y.D., "When I entered the office, the
person examining the watch said he liked it very much and would
buy it. This person called and instructed his friend to bring the watch's
value of $40,000. Then he took the watch and put it in a cabinet in
the room. We waited for a while. Then he went out saying he was
going to the restroom. When he didn't come back for a long time,
I became suspicious. When I opened the cabinet, I saw a large hole
in the back and realized the watch had been stolen." (!)
In the investigations initiated by the Fraud Bureau teams regarding
the incident, it was determined that the security cameras in the
building where the office was located recorded the moments the
theft occurred. In the footage, it was seen that one of the suspects
hid the hole in the wall with a 'No Smoking' sign (!) and took the
sign away to retrieve the watch that had been placed in the
"safe place" inside the office.
Following the security camera footage, the police detained one of the
suspects, Y.Ç. (54). The other suspect, C.E. (50), who was determined
to have fled to Balıkesir, was caught in an operation at the house
where he was hiding. During the search of the house, the watch,
worth approximately $40,000, was found and returned to T.Y.D.
Both suspects were jailed.
