The police uncovered another case of driving under the influence of narcotics in Velingrad, after criminologists also found narcotic substances in the driver's home. Meanwhile in Pazardzhik and the region two more violators were caught – a drug-impaired driver and a motorcyclist without license plates.

Drug-impaired driver and drugs in his home

Yesterday, a patrol from the Velingrad police station stopped for inspection a light Opel vehicle driven by a 34-year-old resident of the resort town. During the inspection, the officers established that the man was driving under the influence of narcotic substances. Shortly afterward, teams from the "Criminal Police" conducted an inspection at his residence as well. In one of the rooms, they found a polyethylene bag containing dry green leafy matter, which tested positive for cannabis during a field drug test. The total amount of seized drugs was slightly over 23 grams.

The man has been detained for 24 hours at the Velingrad police station, and the investigation continues under the supervision of the Pazardzhik District Prosecutor's Office.

Other violations in the region

The police have established other serious violations on the roads in the area. Last night at an intersection in Pazardzhik, a patrol stopped for inspection a Skoda vehicle driven by a 37-year-old man. The test showed that he too was behind the wheel under the influence of narcotic substances.

In a separate incident on a street in the village of Varvara, officers from the Septemvri police station checked a 49-year-old motorcyclist from the village. It turned out that he was operating a Honda motorcycle without license plates and without having registered it properly.

In both cases, expedited proceedings have been initiated and reports filed, and police actions continue.

Enhanced road control

The Pazardzhik Regional Police Directorate reminds that inspections in the region continue, with the main goal being to limit driving under the influence of alcohol and narcotics, as well as stopping unregistered vehicles on the roads.
