Police detained two men with criminal records over drugs in Nesebar and Sredets on 21 October, Burgas regional police (ODMVR) said. In a separate special operation in Pomorie municipality, officers detained a 24-year-old man from Burgas, who also has a criminal record.

At about 2.40pm, officers from Nesebar police stopped a 46-year-old man from Chirpan for a check outside the Central Plaza complex. The operation covered Sunny Beach and Nesebar. The man had 3 grams of a white crystal-like substance, which police say is methamphetamine.

Officers then searched his home in the Chayka district of Nesebar. They found another 5 grams of methamphetamine and 8 grams of cocaine, so the total seized from the Chirpan man was 16 grams of cocaine and methamphetamine. He is being held for up to 24 hours, and a pre-trial investigation has started.

A few hours earlier the same day, officers from Sredets police searched a home on Hadzhi Dimitar Street. It is the home of a 34-year-old local man, who has a criminal record and a previous conviction.

They found a 1.5-litre plastic bottle holding a cloudy white liquid with a sharp smell. Police say it is methamphetamine, but they have not given the amount or the exact make-up, which a laboratory will establish. Officers also seized other items used for taking drugs.

The man from Sredets is being held for up to 24 hours, and fast-track proceedings have been opened against him. The two cases from 21 October are being handled separately.

On 22 October we reported that, in a search of his house, police found 90 grams of a white crystal substance, two electronic scales, 430 empty bags and 57 plastic boxes, and that fast-track proceedings have been opened over the drugs.

At his home in Aheloy, the man from Burgas kept drugs, two electronic scales, 430 empty polythene bags and 57 plastic boxes. Police also seized 90 grams of a white crystal-like substance, whose make-up has not yet been established. Fast-track proceedings have been opened against the 24-year-old.
