Bulgarian police arrested four people and seized 60 kilograms (132 pounds) of heroin found hidden in a car at a border crossing, authorities said yesterday. The drugs, stashed in 116 packages, were found early yesterday in a secret compartment in the floor of a Bulgarian car crossing the border from Turkey, customs said in a statement. Police arrested the 41-year-old Bulgarian driver and three passengers, who included a customs official that police believe organized the smuggling operation. A Serb national, allegedly the head of the group, was also arrested in the southern city of Stara Zagora, police said yesterday. (AP)
