Turkish police have raided a warehouse with weapons destined for neighboring Syria, according to a local news agency, Reuters reported.
According to the Turkish authorities, the stockpile included more than 5,000 guns and 10,000 cartridges that were seized from a village near the town of Akcakale, close to the Syrian border.
The Dogan News Agency, based in Turkey, reported that the 35-year-old warehouse owner had also been detained.
Although Turkey has long supported the rebel uprising in Syria it has so far ruled out arming the opposition fighters.
