Caught entering Türkiye: 2,400 narcotic pills hidden in shoe sole

Türkiye ·

Customs teams at the Çobanbey land border gate caught a person trying to enter Türkiye from Syria with 2,400 Captagon pills hidden in a shoe sole, with the help of the detector dog Kardi. The seized drugs are estimated to have a market value of about 1,040,000 Turkish lira.

Captagon is an amphetamine-type stimulant whose production and smuggling from Syria has been a long-running concern for neighbouring states, including Türkiye.
