Shortly after midnight, three Bolivians: a 39-year-old woman, a 3-year-child and a 19-year-old man tried to enter the country through the Kaptian Andreevo Checkpoint (on Bulgaria's border with Turkey) on German identity papers that, during a passport check, proved to be genuine but did not belong to the holders, the Border Police General Directorate said in a press release on Tuesday.

Border Police officers searched the luggage of the passengers travelling by the same Mercedes bus and found the real Bolivian passports of the three in the bag of a 59-year-old Spanish woman.

The Spanish woman and the three Bolivians were detained at the Svilengrad Border Police Precinct Department. The child has been placed on specialized premises. The case is being handled by the competent authorities.
