At least 11 irregular migrants from Pakistan were held in Turkey’s northwestern Kocaeli province on Friday, the provincial security directorate said.
The Pakistani nationals were found in a bus at a security checkpoint, it added.
The police also arrested the bus driver.
Turkey has been a key transit point for asylum seekers who want to cross into Europe to start new lives, especially those fleeing war and persecution.
It hosts nearly 4 million refugees, including over 3.6 million Syrians, more than any other country in the world.
