                   Their Istanbul holiday was interrupted. 

In Istanbul's Beşiktaş district, traffic police stopped a suspicious vehicle
bearing license plate 33 BRZ 95 (Mersin) and searched Efe K. (20) 
and Olcay Ö. (19).  A records check produced no untoward information
about the two, who said they were staying in a hotel in Ortaköy.

However (!), the suspects' conflicting statements led police to search
their hotel room, number 107, where they found a long-barreled 
Kalishnakov rifle wrapped in a blanket and hidden within a sofa bed. 
As police continued their search, they found 2 unlicensed revolvers, 
38 Kalishnakov bullets and 99 revolver bullets. 

Efe K. and Olcay Ö. were charged with violations of the firearms law
and jailed.  Police found that there were, in fact, records of 7 previous
crimes involving the suspects.
