Bulgarian police arrested a Bosnian citizen at the Kapitan Andreevo checkpoint on the border with Turkey, after finding 22 kilograms of heroin in his car worth about US$1.6 million.
Authorities said the heroin came from Istanbul, and was destined for Bosnia-Herzegovina. Police found the drugs Thursday in 23 packets inside the car's gasoline tank.
The Kapitan Andreevo checkpoint is a popular entrance point into the European Union (EU) for heroin mostly coming from Afghanistan through Turkey. Once inside Bulgaria, traffickers can easily distribute drugs to other EU states.
