More than 150 sacks of red pepper and a drone wash up on Bulgarian beach
Verified: 2 outlets have reported this story since Nov 8.
Tsarevo municipality and volunteers are starting a clean-up at Lipite beach near Sinemorets on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast after more than 150 sacks of red pepper washed ashore, Deputy Mayor Denis Dihanov told BNR Burgas. A drone was also found on the beach. Authorities have yet to establish where it came from or trace the origin of the sacks. Crews will reach the beach by sea because of the difficult terrain and wet ground. Tests on water samples taken over the weekend have so far found no abnormalities, BNR Burgas reported.
