Any time a multi-million dollar fleet of supercars makes the news is a good day.
In particular, it’s especially fascinating when authorities manage to find them and convert them.
That is exactly what happened with the Turkish police force.
Believe us, the collection is truly a sight to behold.

Comanchero Motorcycle Club origins
Before we get into the vehicles that have been seized, it’s important to understand how we got here.
The Comanchero Motorcycle Club (MC) was formed in Australia in 1968.
A Scottish immigrant called William Ross established the MC in Sydney, New South Wales.
The Comanchero MC quickly became despised for their violent, aggressive reputation, owing to frequent brawls.
In the 1980s, a new chapter of the Club was established in the Sydney suburb of Birchgrove.
This particular detail is important, because this would ultimately lead to the club’s implosion.
The breakaway club established ties with the Bandidos, a Texas-based biker gang that dealt in drugs.
Birchgrove’s breakaway chapter would eventually be ‘patched over’ as the Bandido’s first Australian chapter.
In September 1984, the two clubs clashed during an event that would come to be known as the ‘Milperra Massacre.’
Seven people would die – four Comancheros, two Bandidos, and an innocent teenager called Leanne Walters.
Club drug-trafficker detained in Turkey
The subject of today’s story is a man who has been arrested by Turkish police.
Hakan Ayik is an Australian drug-trafficker, born to Turkish parents.
He was described in 2021 as ‘Australia’s most wanted man.’
When he was a boy, Ayik studied at High School in Kogarah, New South Wales.
And his classmate just so happened to be Duax Ngakuru, the future Comanchero president.
Ayik’s drug-trafficking activities have long been linked with the Comanchero Motorcycle Club.
Unfortunately for Ayik, he’s not exactly subtle about his business activities.
In 2010, he became known as the ‘Facebook Gangster’ for flaunting his lifestyle on social media.
And that brings us to today, where he has finally been arrested.
Police in Istanbul, Türkiye, finally arrested Ayik and 36 others on charges of drug trafficking and money laundering.
But the story doesn’t quite end there, either.
Turkish authorities put cars to good use
The Australian drug trafficker doesn’t have to worry about his supercars gathering dust.
Because Turkish authorities are putting them to good use.
Hakan Ayik has a car collection of around 21 cars in his fleet.
And the Turkish police are putting them to good use, sticking their livery and some lights on them.
The collection includes a 205mph Ferrari 488 GTB.
Ayik’s (sorry, the Police’s) 488 GTB has an incredible 670bhp V8 engine.
It is capable of doing 0-60mph in just three seconds.
The collection of supercars doesn’t end there, either.
Among the cars, there is also included the all-electric Porsche Taycan Turbo.
The Porsche Taycan Turbo is an incredibly impressive car, capable of doing 0-60 in just 2.7 seconds.
The confiscated collection also includes the luxurious Bentley Continental GT.
Lastly, there are several luxury Mercedes models, as well as an Audi RS6.
They say that crime doesn’t pay – for the Turkish police, it would appear to be the complete opposite.
