A Bulgarian thief stole a bag full of lottery tickets during a robbery of a lottery office in the northern Bulgarian town Targovishte Saturday evening.

Police arrested the 31-year-old man just one hour later and with the assistance of the people from the neighbourhood. An investigation has been launched into the case.
