ADANA, Turkey (AA) - Four suspects have been detained after more than 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of heroin were seized from a passenger bus in Turkey's southern Adana province early Friday, according to a police official.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on talking to media, said police and Anti-Smuggling and Organized Crime Department teams acted on a tip-off to stop the vehicle, which had departed from eastern Van province.
The 108 kilograms of heroin, as well as 120 cartons of contraband cigarettes, were found in packets in a hidden compartment in the lower part of an auxiliary seat.
