Two Arrests Following Police Operation in Peshtera: Heroin and Opioid Tablets Found

Two people have been detained after a police operation against possession and distribution of drugs in Peshtera. The action was conducted by officers of the Criminal Police group from the local district administration. During a search of a house owned by a 68-year-old woman, criminologists found various types of tablets prohibited for free sale and storage. A total of 227 tablets weighing about 205 grams were seized, which tested positive for opiates in a field drug test. The police also checked a property inhabited by a 34-year-old local resident of Peshtera, as well as the home of a relative. There, 13 sachets of a brown powdery substance were found, which tested positive for heroin. Quick proceedings were initiated in both cases under the supervision of the Pazardzhik Regional Prosecution Office.

In addition, four quick proceedings have begun against vehicle drivers following checks in the region. Three drivers — a 46-year-old man from Momina Klisura, a 38-year-old man from the village of Benkovski, and a 38-year-old woman from Plovdiv — were found to be operating vehicles with more than 1.2 promiles of alcohol in their systems. A 54-year-old man from the village of Konarsko was caught driving without the required license, with a vehicle bearing foreign registration plates. The Pazardzhik Chief Directorate of the Interior reminds that checks for drugs, alcohol, and traffic violations continue.
