Car dealership arsons in Antalya

Overview

A series of arson attacks targeting car dealerships has occurred in the Antalya province of Turkey.

In the Kepez district, an arson attack caused significant damage to a dealership and three vehicles, with losses estimated between 17 and 18 million lira. The owner reported receiving prior threats from individuals using the code name ‘Robin Dalton’ who demanded he ‘give the street its due.’ Police investigations linked the attack to the ‘Daltonlar’ crime group, resulting in the detention of four suspects, including minors and an organizer. Authorities are currently attempting to locate a planner believed to be abroad.

In a separate incident in the Serik district, a suspect was arrested after security footage showed him pouring gasoline over six vehicles and igniting them. The suspect, identified as Serkan K, surrendered to local police and was formally arrested by the court.
