Security chaos in faction-held areas | Gang attempts to kidnap girl in Azaz countryside

Aleppo province: SOHR activists have reported that a gang tried to kidnap a girl from the widows Camp in Kafra village in Azaz countryside in the northern Aleppo countryside.

According to sources, the gang comprised two girls and a young man who escaped after failing to kidnap the girl, where she started yelling forcing the gang to let her and flee.

This comes as a part of the ongoing security chaos, including drug dealing and trafficking in areas controlled by Turkish-backed factions which exploit their power in practicing such illegal activities.

On the other hand, Turkish Jandarma arrested a smuggler from Azaz city yesterday, after exchange of fire between both sides. This came after the smuggler tried to help Syrian civilians to sneak into Turkey through Turkish-Syrian borders near Azaz city.
