Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The report gives no separate date for the stop; 6 November 2026 is the date of the other check in the same police report, and 9 November is the article's publication date.
No cannabis quantity or weight was reported, only a positive roadside indication, so no kilogram figure is recorded.
The article does not say which kind of sample the driver refused or whether a blood test followed, and gives no laboratory result, so the roadside indication is unconfirmed.
No charge, measure of restraint or court outcome was reported for the driver.
The separate case of the 57-year-old lorry driver found with 2.41 promille of alcohol on the Maritsa motorway is an alcohol-only case recorded in the same police report and is left out of this cannabis report.
Only one account of this stop could be found; the Haskovo regional directorate statement itself was not opened.
The article gives no more precise location than Rozova dolina Street; coordinates are for Haskovo city centre with locality precision.
