Police in Varna stopped the spread of a synthetic cannabinoid for vape devices, seizing about 2 litres of the substance. The drug, known as “Pinaka”, was found in quantities described as equivalent to more than 1,000 doses. Police warned that it is extremely dangerous and that the amount could have put many young people at risk. Alongside the anti-drug action, officers detained a 45-year-old man with 38 prior criminal registrations. He was accused of a break-in theft from a venue in the “Mladost” district, targeting a donation box. The stolen money was reported as worth 500 euros. The suspect was held for up to 72 hours, and charges were brought. In the drug case, a 24-year-old man was detained after officers seized the synthetic cannabinoid. A criminal investigation has been opened, and investigative actions continue. Police have previously reported similar cases involving synthetic cannabinoids for vape devices in Varna, along with other drug-related arrests earlier this year.
