‘WE WILL NOT GIVE THE GANGS ANY ROOM TO BREATHE’
Using the phrase, "As a result of the operations, 95 suspects who are members of organized crime groups were apprehended," Yerlikaya stated, "We will not give any room to breathe to those who are arrogant in their crimes, those who disturb the peace of our people, organized crime groups, and gangs. No matter how large they are, we will dismantle organized crime groups."
Reporting that 24 unlicensed pistols, 11 unlicensed rifles, 1 automatic pistol, 9 sharp/piercing tools, various amounts of narcotics, and a large number of checks and promissory notes were seized during the operations, Yerlikaya congratulated the Chief Public Prosecutor's Offices that coordinated the operations and the police who carried them out.
