An operation targeting 'change' vehicles was conducted in Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Bursa, and Antalya, centered in Istanbul. In the operation, 24 suspects were detained and 40 vehicles were seized. 'Change' vehicles are used for unlawful currency exchange transactions. Police conduct regular operations against such activities.
Police forces seized 40 'change' vehicles with altered identification details taken off the road and arrested 24 suspects through simultaneous operations in five provinces. These vehicles are mostly stolen and being traded by organized crime networks.
As the trade in stolen vehicles circulating with fake documents or different license plates increases across the country, enhanced inspections are tightening driver controls and raising questions about the legitimacy of vehicles encountered in traffic. Since the operation could expand and technical examinations continue, identifying individuals linked to these networks could trigger additional operations in the near future.
