Over 10 kg heroin seized in northwestern Turkey

BOLU, Turkey

Turkey seized over 10.15 kilograms (22 pounds) of heroin in the northwestern province of Bolu, a police source said on Tuesday.

Anti-narcotics police, assisted by a sniffer dog, searched a suspicious car on a motorway in Bolu, recovering heroin from the trunk of the vehicle, said the source who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

Two suspects were arrested for alleged drug smuggling.
