The Edirne Customs Smuggling and Intelligence Directorate teams conducted two separate operations at Kapikule where unlicensed pistols and drugs were seized. During an x-ray scan of a truck due to suspicion of density, a search was conducted. 24 unlicensed pistols and 379 bullets hidden in fire extinguishers and various parts of the vehicle were found. In another operation, a truck driver displaying suspicious movements within the customs area was put under physical and technical surveillance and sent for x-ray scanning.
