„We have traced their routes and an arrest is pending. Yes, the individuals are minors. I cannot say that they fit the profile of the locales 100%.... We cannot attribute all child crime to the so-called “locales“. We have identified three individuals who are very clearly visible on the cameras during the day and their detention is imminent“, said Senior Commissioner Lyubomir Nikolov – Director of the Internal Affairs Directorate.
“It is not becoming a pandemic, how long have you not heard about the locales in question. But the Internal Affairs Directorate has removed over 4,000 people from anonymity precisely along this line in the last month, month and a half. The gangs and gangs in question have disappeared. There are some situations, but we will deal with them too“, said Interior Minister Daniel Mitov.
These comments were made today during the celebration of 146 years since the founding of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
