With the start of the hot tourist season, crime has intensified in Turkey’s resorts. So, this week, the police arrested two suspects on charges of a series of thefts of safes with money and valuables from hotels in the resort city of Kemer (Antalya province).
The law enforcement officers received several statements from victims about breaking into safes from hotels located in the premium area of Tekirova. The victims told almost the same story: after returning from a walk/excursion/beach, they saw that the safe had disappeared from the room. At the same time, the dates of the robberies were different, which allowed the police to conclude that one gang of robbers was operating.
During the investigation, law enforcement officers tracked down two men. After collecting evidence, operatives tracked them down and detained them. During the search in their hiding place, tools were found, with the help of which they opened hotel rooms and broke safes. The stolen money was also there.
The detainees were imprisoned. They are awaiting trial.
