Two people suspected of stealing have stolen a police bag right after the court released them under judicial control measures at Istanbul’s Büyükçekmece Courthouse. 

Footage obtained by a security camera in the courthouse showed the moments of theft, Demirören News Agency reported on Nov. 28.

The police previously detained E.D. and C.B. after they were suspected of burglaries in Istanbul’s Esenyurt district.

One of the suspects was detained and brought to the same courthouse, but this time the court sent him to prison.
