Police in Isperih, Razgrad Province, detained a 45-year-old man from the Silistra village of Kalipetrovo who they said had a criminal record, after finding drugs on him.[1] The arrest followed an evening police check on Road III-205, a third-class road, at the turn-off for the village of Sveshtari on 6 November 2026.[1] Officers stopped a Volkswagen Transporter driven by a 42-year-old man, also from Kalipetrovo.[2]

The passenger in the front right seat was holding a dry herbal mass weighing 3.38 grams.[1] A field test of the material reacted for cannabis.[2] The man was detained at the building of the Isperih regional police station, not in the car, and the driver was not arrested.[1]

A pre-trial investigation was opened under article 354a, paragraph 3, item 1, of the Criminal Code, which covers drug offences.[3] The accounts came from the Razgrad regional police directorate’s press bulletin, which the Silistra and BTA outlets reproduced.[3]
