A citizen who wanted to cross the Bulgarian border at Kaptan Andrevo on foot to reach the Kapıkule border gate was caught with three packages of marijuana wrapped around his waist.
A Turkish citizen moving on foot from Bulgaria to Turkey lost his way while trying to pass through the small vehicles platform and ended up at the "going truck" route point. He informed the customs officer that a pedestrian in front of him did not guide him well and that he was looking for a place to pass through passport control to continue to Turkey.
The citizen's behavior raised suspicions among Bulgarian customs officials. During a search by customs officers, it was discovered that three transparent vacuum bags containing a greenish mass were hidden under two elastic belts around his waist. A field drug test was conducted, which reacted to the marijuana. Three packages with a total gross weight of 1 kilogram and 620 grams were revealed. While the seized marijuana was confiscated, a preliminary hearing was initiated by an investigative customs inspector under the supervision of the Haskovo Regional Prosecutor's Office.
