Drugs and 28,000 BGN in Burgas: Family Detained

Burgas police announced the detention of a family implicated in possession of narcotics and a significant sum of money in residential complex "Pobeda".

A special operation conducted on "Opulchenska" and "Vladislav" streets led to the uncovering of the case.

In the home of a 43-year-old man on "Opulchenska" street, known to law enforcement, amphetamine, a precise electronic scale, and numerous plastic bags typically used for packaging narcotics were found.

The atmosphere in the neighborhood after the operation was tense, with numerous police cars blocking access to the streets immediately after the arrest.

In addition to the narcotics, cash amounting to approximately 28,000 leva in various banknotes was seized from the apartment, strengthening the assumption of organized drug trafficking.

The owner of the apartment – the 43-year-old man, his wife, and his two sons – were detained. All of them are being held in custody while the investigation continues.

The fact that this is not their first encounter with the law gives grounds for serious suspicions of long-standing criminal activity.

According to police information, the same family was arrested in May, at which time about 100 grams of methamphetamine and a significant amount of cash were seized.

The investigation has not limited its scope to just the family.

Police teams checked two more apartments in residential complex "Pobeda", inhabited by two brothers with criminal records.

In one of the apartments, on "Vladislav" street, marijuana, an electronic scale, and plastic bags were found, supporting the theory of possible cooperation between the family and the brothers.

The 24-year-old and 26-year-old brothers were detained at the scene of the operation.

The case is particularly alarming as it demonstrates the systemic nature of drug trafficking in Burgas and highlights the need for decisive action by law enforcement agencies.

The investigation is ongoing and details about any other individuals involved in the criminal activity are expected.

The severity of the charges against the detainees could lead to significant sentences, considering both the quantity of narcotics seized and the presumed profit from the criminal activity.
