Police in Sofia have arrested a man and a woman suspected of stealing five designer handbags from a shop ahead of Black Friday. The suspects took two handbags worth 800 euros in one day, then returned the next day and stole three more worth 1,095 euros. The total value of the items was 1,895 euros. After a report was broadcast on NOVA, staff at the Peto district police unit identified and detained the suspects. Police said the stolen handbags were found and returned to the shop. The 41-year-old woman and the 31-year-old man were described by a Sofia police spokesperson as people with previous experience in this type of theft, with multiple earlier detentions. Officials said there is no single profile for offenders in mall thefts, with both minors and adults among those responsible, including people in their mid-60s. Police added that some thefts involve removing security devices, while others are carried out openly. They also said some stolen goods are later offered for sale online, though tracing their origin can be difficult. The latest status is that the two suspects have been arrested and the case is being handled by police following the mall shoplifting incident.
