   Police work includes 'other duties as assigned'. (ugh!)

Police in Tavşanlı district of Kütahya province got a tip about 3 suspects
trying to sell historic coins.  After three months of surveillance, police
raided the homes of C.K. and his son C.K. (jr., no doubt).  In searches
conducted at three addresses and in two cars, police found bags of historic
coins hidden in a toilet (!) and in beehives.

In all, police recovered 23,298 coins from Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman
times, along with 256 rings, 1,378 historic objects, 126 arrowheads,  26
crosses, 35 seals, 6 medallions and a dagger, for a total seizure of 25,126
historic items.























                          C.K. surrendering to police.

Additionally, police seized 30,000 TL (about $2,500) in cash, thought to 
have been derived from the sale of historic items, a metal detector, a
shovel, two digging tools and two sensitive weighing scales.  The two 
C.K.s and the son's wife G.K. were taken into custody.
