ANKARA
Turkish police on Monday seized as many as 28,600 electronic cigarettes, also known as vapes, in the capital Ankara, a security source said.
The anti-smuggling branch of the police department of Ankara seized the illegal electronic cigarettes from a truck in the Etimesgut district, said the source, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
A suspect who is of Russian origin was arrested for smuggling.
This is the highest amount of electronic cigarettes seized in an operation to date, said the source.
