Turkish police have seized 358 kilograms of heroin from a flat in Istanbul.
Turkish media reported that the narcotics had been stashed in the floor of the apartment.
The Iranian national who rented the flat, located in Esenyurt, west Istanbul, is still at large. His name has not been officially confirmed.
The police put the huge haul of seized drugs on show to the public, laying out 42 loose bags of powdered heroin in front of piles of packages of the drug stacked against a wall.
While Turkish press outlets claim that the drugs are valued at around US$ 3.4 million in Turkey, the same quantity of heroin would fetch a much higher price if it ever reached western markets.
