Diyarbakır police anti-narcotics teams searched a vehicle on Silvan road as part of citywide work targeting people and organisations involved in drug trafficking.[1] The search was carried out by teams of the Narkotik Suçlarla Mücadele Şubesi, the police branch responsible for combating narcotics crime.[2] Three people, identified only by the initials D.B., D.Ö. and E.Y., were taken into detention in connection with the incident, with gözaltı meaning police detention rather than a court-ordered arrest.[1]

Officers recovered 700 kilograms of kubar esrar, the Turkish term for herbal cannabis in unprocessed form, from inside the searched vehicle.[1] The cannabis was reported as found in that single vehicle on Silvan road, rather than in fields, buildings or additional locations.[3]

Diyarbakır is the named province and city location of the drug operation that produced this seizure.[3] The account attributes the search, the seizure weight and the detentions to a statement by the Police Directorate, the Emniyet Müdürlüğü.[1]
