A 32-year-old driver from Kotel has been detained in Nesebar after a drug test showed cocaine, police in Burgas said. Officers found cocaine and cannabis at his home.

Officers from the Nesebar police station stopped the man yesterday at about 11:25am. He was driving a Ford Fiesta with Burgas plates. He refused to give blood and urine for lab tests, and police held him for up to 24 hours.

After the arrest, officers searched the home where he lives, in the Chernо More 3 neighbourhood of Nesebar. They found white lumps that police say are cocaine, and heads of dried green plant matter identified as cannabis.

There were 5 grams of each substance, 10 grams in total. Police seized both.

A similar case came in March 2024, when police stopped a drugged driver in the Chernо More neighbourhood of Nesebar. A search of his home then turned up 9 grams of cannabis. In September, Nesebar officers found three drivers in Sunny Beach whose roadside tests showed cocaine and methamphetamine use. One was a 24-year-old woman from Sofia who was driving a BMW X6.

Fast-track proceedings have been opened against the man. Investigators must establish all the circumstances of the drive and the drugs found.
