Ten migrants and migrant-trafficker arrested

Police on Monday announced the arrest of a 28-year-old Bulgarian man that was caught transporting ten illegal migrants in his car, following a police pursuit on the old national road from Komotini to Xanthi. Border police had flagged down the vehicle with Bulgarian number plates to stop for a routine inspection. Instead of stopping, however, the driver picked up speed and attempted to escape, prompting police to follow.
