Two men dressed in women’s clothing entered an apartment building in Istanbul’s Avcılar district and allegedly escaped with gold and foreign currency worth about 500,000 Turkish lira.
The suspects targeted a second-floor apartment in the Gümüşpınar neighborhood. They reportedly spent about 20 minutes inside before leaving, and security cameras recorded them.
Fatoş Yılmaz said she noticed the lock was open when she returned from work. At first, she said, she and the others joked with each other about the open door. They understood what had happened only after lifting the storage bed in the bedroom.
Yılmaz said there were no signs that the door had been forced open.
