Attempted thief caught in the act in Samsun
Sevgi A. attempted to steal a house in the Bahçelievler District of İlkadım district in Samsun. His failed attempt was captured on camera by the homeowners who managed to catch him in the act.
The incident began when Sevgi A. knocked on the door of the house and, thinking no one was home, tried to open the door with a device he had in his hand. However, the homeowners noticed the tampering and started recording the attempted theft on their mobile phones.
Upon realizing he had been caught, Sevgi A. tried to flee from the scene, but was chased down and caught by the homeowners. In an attempt to escape, he pleaded with the homeowners, claiming that his wife was in prison and his children were hungry.
After a brief exchange with the homeowners, Sevgi A. was eventually released by the landlords who reported the incident to the police. The Iraqi family handed over the footage of the attempted theft to the authorities.
Further investigation by the Samsun Police Department revealed that Sevgi A., along with another individual named Raziye Y., had been involved in similar thefts in the area. The duo had stolen gold and money amounting to approximately 150 thousand liras from two separate houses in the İlkadım and Atakum districts.
Both Sevgi A. and Raziye Y. were arrested and taken to Samsun T Type Closed Prison after their interrogation. The police have warned citizens to ensure their home doors are locked to prevent such incidents.
The case serves as a reminder for homeowners to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities to prevent theft and ensure the safety of their homes.
