No separate date is given for the searches or detentions; 13 November 2026 is the publication date of both accounts and is used as the incident date.
The accounts do not say how the 14 jailed relate to the cannabis seizure versus the methamphetamine, bonzai, AMG and pill seizures, so the skunk is recorded as the only cannabis figure without assigning people to individual substances.
Bonzai and its raw material AMG are synthetic cannabinoids and are excluded from the cannabis figures under the tracker scope; captagon, synthetic medicine pills and methamphetamine are not cannabis.
No district, address or suspect names were published, so the report uses Kahramanmaraş province with regional precision.
No charges or court outcome beyond the remands were reported.
In a simultaneous two-address raid in Bartın, police found harvested hemp plants dried on a clothesline and turned into marijuana, seizing 2 kg 100 g of marijuana and one blank-firing pistol; two people were detained and a third suspect remains at large. The anti-trafficking investigation is continuing.
İzmir's narcotics operation seized 1,367.5 kg of skunk alongside ecstasy and pregabalin, with detentions rising from 11 in the first stage to 17. The alleged organisation leader, wanted for seven years, was caught hiding in Menderes.
Karaman gendarmerie carried out province-wide checks and operations between 6 and 12 November 2026 and seized 5 g of esrar, 379 g of hemp and skunk plant material, 297 synthetic tablets, 101 coins, 72 historical objects and 20 litres of illicit alcohol. Forty-nine people wanted for various crimes were caught and 11 were remanded in custody.
Şanlıurfa gendarmes stopped a passenger bus on the Diyarbakır-Şanlıurfa highway and searched a suitcase belonging to a passenger, finding 1 kilogram 467 grams of esrar, the Turkish term for cannabis. One suspect was detained and held for referral to judicial authorities.
