Bulgaria's Border Police has captured a total of nine illegal immigrants from Iraq and Syria in two unrelated incidents.
Four illegal foreigners – three men from Syria and one from Iraq – were busted late Tuesday night at the Bulgarian border with Greece near Petrich, the Interior Ministry announced Wednesday.
The four men were caught right before they were trying to cross from Bulgaria into Greece.
All of them were found to have registrations with the Bulgarian Refugee Agency, with applications for asylum. However, they were not entitled to leave Bulgaria until their applications were reviewed.
In a separate incident border policemen from Bulgaria's Danube port of Vidin searched a Volkswagen van driven by a 26-year-old Dutch citizen of Iraqi origin as it was to cross into Romania.
The police found nine men inside the van who presented IDs from the Netherlands. Upon inspection, five of them were found to have used Dutch IDs belonging to other persons.
The five men in question had already been detained at the Turkish-Bulgarian border on September 16, 2011, and after that applied for refugee status in Bulgaria. They have been arrested in Vidin as a result of their attempt to leave Bulgaria illegally.
