An interesting incident occurred during the day in the Bahçelievler district of Istanbul. Police teams patrolling on Atatürk Street in the Yenibosna neighborhood signaled a person to 'stop' during a routine identity check. However, the suspect, who did not want to show their identification, suddenly began to run away despite the police warning.
One of the officers, acting quickly to ensure the suspect did not disappear into the crowd on the street, turned to a motorcycle courier who was waiting for an order on the sidewalk. The police officer asked the courier for help, jumped onto the back of the motorcycle, and they pursued the fleeing individual along the street together.
Following the chase on the motorcycle driven by the courier, the police caught and detained the fleeing suspect in a short time. As a result of the investigations conducted at the scene, it was revealed that the person caught had entered Turkey illegally. The detained foreign national was handed over to the relevant units for deportation after the completion of procedures at the police station.
These active moments were also reflected on the security camera of a business on the street. In the footage, it is clearly seen that the police officer gets on the back of the motorcycle courier to start the chase and catches the suspect shortly after.
