        Mobile butcher shop...and five-finger discount.

In Adana's Yüreğir district, Ümit Ö. jumped onto the back of  Bekir

Ç.'s truck and stole 40 kilograms of meat (!) when the truck stopped

at a red light. Ümit Ö. then fled with the meat on the motorcycle

belonging to his accomplice Coşkun S. 

However (!),  police reviewed surveillance video from the scene

and nabbed the two meat thieves. During their questioning at the police 

station, the suspects allegedly said, "We barbecued some of the meat 

and sold the rest." Following the proceedings, Ümit Ö. and Coşkun S. 

were referred to the courthouse and subsequently arrested by the court.

Heading to the slammer with tummies full of BBQ.
