Against the backdrop of the constantly increasing population, there is a significantly lower number of crimes in Sofia. This was stated to the media by the director of the Sofia Directorate of Internal Affairs (SDVR) Lyubomir Nikolov after the presentation of the directorate's report, BTA reports.
In 2024 compared to 2023 There are nine fewer victims in accidents, not a single child has died, he said.
There is a serious drop in car thefts, home burglaries and robberies, there are also better detection rates. We have uncovered many groups that influence car thefts. Many individuals from the criminal contingent have been arrested, some of them have remained there for a long time, Nikolov said.
He reported that in the fight against drug trafficking there are also more cases detected.
Between 10 and 15 are caught every day. Priority is being given to work around schools. In one year, 10 drug greenhouses have been dismantled and large quantities of drugs have been seized, the director of the Internal Affairs Directorate pointed out.
The Minister of Interior congratulated his colleagues on their work and pointed out that among the main priorities are fewer accidents and the fight against drug trafficking.
Sofia is one of the safest capitals in the European Union, said Nikolov.
