Police in Bulgaria's Burgas Province detained six people in searches on 4 November 2026 targeting drug production and distribution. Officers seized about 42 grams of cannabis from a flat in Nesebar's Pyasatsite quarter, while the other searches in Prosenik and Sredets yielded methamphetamine and precursors.
Six people were detained in police actions against drug distribution and
production in Burgas Province on the day before the 5 November reports.[1]In
Prosenik, officers checked a private home lived in by a 34-year-old man with
previous convictions and found items and precursors linked to drug production.[1]Three other people were found in that Prosenik house, men aged 36 and 45
from Prosenik and Burgas and a 29-year-old woman from Kazanlak, and all four
were held for up to 24 hours.[1]In Sredets, officers searched the home of a
40-year-old man already known to police.[1][2]That Sredets man was detained for
up to 24 hours.[1]
Officers also searched a flat in Nesebar’s Pyasatsite quarter in an operation on
the same day and seized cannabis there.[1][3][2][4][5][6]The Nesebar seizure was 42 grams of
cannabis, found in a flat lived in by a 42-year-old man from Sliven.[7][3][2][4][8][5][6]The
Nesebar man was kept in custody and fast-track proceedings were opened against
him.[7][3][2][8][6][9]
The same operation also yielded methamphetamine, chemicals, precursors and
production equipment.[1]Shortly after release, the 45-year-old from Burgas
found at the Prosenik house was stopped in Prosenik driving under the influence
of methamphetamine and was detained again.[7]

The incident date of 4 November 2026 is inferred from both publications dated 5 November 2026 saying the searches took place yesterday; no calendar date is stated in the texts.
Both accounts trace to the Burgas regional police directorate via BTA, with no independent reporting found beyond that police account.
Only the Nesebar cannabis weight of about 42 grams is recorded; no separate cannabis weight is given for the general cannabis mention in the province-wide seizure list.
No charges, detention extensions or court outcomes beyond the reported up-to-24-hour detentions and fast-track proceedings were reported.
The 45-year-old's re-arrest for driving under the influence of methamphetamine is a separate traffic offence after release and is excluded from the cannabis figures.
The BurgasMedia page image is a stock collage credited to Pexels, so no photo of the Nesebar seizure can be linked from this source.
The same roundup also reports a traffic accident injuring a 14-year-old in Burgas and a loan-threat complaint in Tsarevo, separate events left out of this cannabis record.
The page gives no separate calendar date for the searches beyond saying they became known on its 5 November 2026 publication date; the existing 4 November 2026 date remains an inference from reports saying the searches took place the previous day.
This account says two men were held in the two 4 November searches, in Sredets and Nesebar, and does not mention the Prosenik searches or the other four detainees recorded in this report.
It describes the Sredets find as 1.5 grams of methamphetamine with a scale, hotplates, a glass pipe and precursors, and says the Sredets man was held for up to 24 hours, while other reports describe laboratories in Sredets and Prosenik.
BurgasMedia's roundup gives only the bare fact that a 42-year-old man in Nesebar held cannabis, with no weight or address.
No charges beyond the fast-track proceeding or a court outcome were reported.
