Bolat stated, "This is the result of their meticulous and focused work within the scope of their crackdown. Our customs enforcement teams have been able to prevent illegal e-cigarettes and their components from entering our country. We will continue to combat the smuggling of e-cigarettes."<\/p>

It is understood that a truck attempting to enter Turkey through the Kapikule customs was assessed as "high risk". The X-ray scan revealed suspicious density, and the vehicle was subsequently taken to a hangar for a physical search.<\/p><\/p>
