Law enforcement actions in Belgium and Bulgaria have resulted in the seizure of narcotics and the detention of drivers.

In Geraardsbergen, Belgium, a driver was arrested following a speed check after police discovered cannabis and cocaine inside a vehicle. Authorities also seized a mobile phone, cash, and the vehicle. Police Chief Patrice De Mets stated that such traffic controls are part of an “integrated approach to combat undermining criminality and improve general safety in the region.”

In Nessebar, Bulgaria, a 32-year-old driver was detained after testing positive for cocaine while operating a vehicle. A subsequent search of the individual's residence uncovered 5 grams of cocaine and 5 grams of cannabis. Investigations are ongoing following the driver's refusal to provide samples for chemical analysis.
