11 illegal migrants from Syria have been detained near Sofia's Vladaya neighborhood after a police chase on the night of May 24. Two Serbs were also detained - a driver and his companion, who were driving a van in which the migrants were transported.

The traffickers refused to stop at the police signal at the police post at Vladaya and a chase began. A little later, the two Serbs stopped and left the vehicle, abandoning the migrants, who were without identity documents. After a short search, the police detained both Serbs. 

Pre-trial proceedings have been initiated in the case. 

The refugees claim to be from Syria.
