Five men have been detained for human trafficking during a joint operation by the police in Sliven and in Bourgas. To begin with, the police from Sliven detained three cars on Trakia highway near Karnobat. Later a lorry was discovered in a byway, with a secret compartment in its trailer where twenty foreign nationals were found – men, women and four children, in their own words citizens of Iraq and Syria.

Five Bulgarian nationals have been detained who were using the vehicles in question. Mobile phones and cash in different currencies were seized. A drug laboratory was discovered during the search of a house in Mechkarevo village, the residence of a father and son from Sliven, taken into custody during the operation.
