Police in the Haskovo region detained three people within a day for drug possession, according to the regional police directorate.[1] Officers checked a 15-year-old boy at 9 a.m. in a park on D. Blagoev Street in Svilengrad.[1] Officers found 9.7 grams of dry green leafy matter and 0.47 grams of white crystalline substance in the boy’s clothing.[1] A field drug test confirmed the two substances as marijuana and methamphetamine.[1]

In the same daily roundup in Dimitrovgrad, a 28-year-old man was caught with methamphetamine, with one gram of white crystalline substance and 30 tablets of the drug seized from him.[1] In Haskovo, detectives searching a 46-year-old man on Yastreb Street found 17 wraps of green-brown leafy matter weighing 4 grams with a specific mint smell.[1] The third detainee was held in the custody of the directorate in Haskovo.[1]

All three detainees were held for up to 24 hours.[1] A second outlet attributes the same account of the three detentions to the press centre of the Haskovo regional police directorate.[2] A third account independently confirms the morning check of the 15-year-old in the Svilengrad park on Blagoev Street.[3]
