The mayor of the Burgas village of Troyanovo, who specializes in the arrest of illegal migrants, detained another group.

After the civil arrest, villagers fed the migrants and handed them over to the police.

In autumn, Mayor Dimitar Nikolov detained another group of illegal migrants who had been wandering in Strandzha for a week.

He receives a tip-off from the local shepherd about another group of migrants.

"Around 11:30, my phone rang.

I responded to the call and found eight people.

One of them moved away from the group, but then came back," explained Nikolov.

"They were hungry and thirsty.

At that time, these groups are usually looking for help and looking to enter a populated area to be fed," the mayor added.

The migrants wanted to reach the Thrace highway, and their final destination was Italy.

"There is a large concentration of police forces.

They are constantly patrolling, but apparently the migrants are finding alternative routes.

There were two phones in the group and they were clearly hooking up.

There are constant patrols for the peace of mind of the residents of Troyanovo," said Dimitar Nikolov.
