Gendarmerie teams in the Odunpazarı district of Eskişehir detained one suspect during an anti-narcotics operation that seized various quantities of illicit drugs at a local address.[1][2] Following the operation, judicial authorities opened an investigation against the captured suspect for purchasing, accepting or possessing drugs or stimulants for personal use, as well as for violating Law No. 2313 on the Supervision of Narcotics.[1][2]

Searches carried out at the designated address resulted in the seizure of 310 grams of esrar, the term used in Turkey for cannabis, alongside six cannabis root plants.[1][2] Gendarmerie officers also seized an esrar grinder and one precision scale during their search of the premises.[1][2] The seized cannabis and cultivation plants were recovered from a residence located within the Odunpazarı district.[1][2]

The operation was initiated after teams from the provincial gendarmerie command conducted field work against drug crimes and obtained intelligence that narcotics production was being carried out in Odunpazarı.[1][2] Gendarmerie teams mounted the raid on the identified address following detailed preliminary investigations and physical tracking of the suspect.[1][2]
