A luxury Mercedes that has recently been stolen in France's capital Paris was detained Friday in the Bulgarian capital Sofia.

The Mercedes 220 CDI was producer in June 2009, and shortly after that was stolen from its owner in Paris. After the car was not discovered in France, the police authorities continued the search internationally.

The car was detected by the Bulgarian police who carried out an operation for its detention. They arrested a 42-year-old Bulgarian citizen with a sizable criminal record, who was driving it.

After the police captured the car, they found in it seven fake Bulgarian and foreign passports and a number of forged banknotes, two illegal guns, a grenade, gold coins, credit cards, and forged seals of US and Canadian state authorities plus a lot of legal documents for the ownership of cars and real estate property.

The Bulgarian police are continuing to investigate the case.
