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.

Later, the court released them under judicial control measures during the hearing that took place at Istanbul’s Büyükçekmece Courthouse. The footage showed that the suspects stole one of the police officer’s bag right after the hearing.

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