Turkey Police add supercars to their fleet for free

Yerlikaya stated that all the units would be "at the nation's service."

According to a report, the police department in Istanbul, Turkey, have added several supercars to their fleet.

The Turkey police fleet is said to have 23 cars ranging from supercars, high-end luxury vehicles and EVs as well as a few daily-driven models. Some of the notable models in the fleet include a Ferrari 488 GTB, a Porsche Taycan Turbo S, a Bentley Continental GT, two Land Rover Range Rovers, various Mercedes-Benz models like the G-Class, GLS, E-Class and A-Class, a few Volvo XC90s, various generations of the Audi A6, a BMW 1 Series, a Peugeot SUV, a VW Golf and a Nissan Juke.

As per reports, the vehicles belonged to an Australian, Hakan Ayik, who was running illegal operations in the country. The cars were part of a bust and were confiscated at the time of his arrest. Turkey's Minister of the Interior, Ali Yerlikaya, a month after the arrest of the Australian, took all the confiscated cars and transformed them into police vehicles.

Speaking at a ceremony where all the vehicles were unveiled in their police attire, Yerlikaya stated that all the units would be "at the nation's service."
