A police car chase in the port city of Burgas has ended with the arrest of eight migrants and their Pakistani driver. The refugees, allegedly Syrian nationals, boarded a jeep that had previously passed empty through the police checkpoint on the Sozopol-Burgas road, with the driver alone. Police acted on a tip-off they received at around 13:20 today. 

Pre-trial proceedings have been opened in connection with the case.
