Police are looking for a 15-year-old boy from Simeonovgrad after finding about a litre of liquid containing ephedrine at his home, the Haskovo regional police directorate (ODMVR) said in its bulletin on Tuesday, 10 November.

The liquid, 1,000 ml in all, was found at his home on Vitosha Street. Police gave no other details about the find.

The regional news site Haskovo News also covered the case. It wrote that police found 1,000 ml of liquid containing ephedrine at the home of a 15-year-old in Simeonovgrad. The search for the boy goes on.

Ephedrine is a controlled precursor, a key raw material for making methamphetamine illegally. Its sale is therefore tightly controlled.
