Wife from Pazardzhik forgot money at a Varna train station; thief captured

Officers from the Regional Gendarmerie Directorate in Varna intervened regarding an incident at the city’s train station minutes before midnight. A 58-year-old woman from the Pazardzhik region reported that at one of the platforms she had left a small bag containing 1200 euros, 500 British pounds, a bank card of an English-speaking bank, and a personal ID.

According to footage, the woman arrived in the evening by train from Plovdiv, waited for a while, and around 19:40 sat at the beginning of the third track beside the concrete barrier and placed the small bag next to herself. At that moment another woman passed by, took the bag, and boarded the train.

It has been established that the thief was traveling on the Varna–Sofia train. At Targovishte station, a 45-year-old woman from the region was detained. In her bag, the sums — 1200 euros and 500 pounds — were found. She initially claimed the money was hers, but subsequently voluntarily handed them over.

The woman was taken off the train for clarification of the case. Varna investigators continue to work on the investigation.
