Two British citizens were fined for hooliganism after an incident in which they threw beer bottles, injuring people, after being barred by security guards from entering a Veliko Turnovo restaurant that had closed for the night.

Bulgarian National Radio (BNR) reported on May 6 2012 that police had arrested one of the UK citizens at the scene and took the other, who had fled, into custody later.

The district court in the Bulgarian town fined both men for petty hooliganism, BNR said.

Bulgarian-language Dnevnik commented that the incident was the latest involving "
foreigners with a taste for alcohol"
and said that British youth were "
particularly active"
in drunken brawls in Bulgaria.

Tourists regularly filled the charge sheets of local police in resorts in Bulgaria, Dnevnik said, citing the 2005 case of Michael Shields who was found guilty by Bulgarian courts of having severely assaulted a bartender at the Black Sea resort of Golden Sands by hitting him on the head with a paving stone. Shields was transferred to the UK where authorities gave him a pardon.

There had been similar incidents resulting in fines for hooliganism in recent years in Bansko, Pamporovo and Varna, Dnevnik said.

How sad. People like this make me ashamed to be British.

These people make me ashamed to be a people, regardless of where they come from. Lol.

There is always one isn't there and it gives the rest of us a bad name.

This can and does apply to anyone who gets tanked up, then runs around creating havoc. I refuse to go to Sunny Beach any more because of the rubbish behaviour I've seen over the years..we prefer to go down to Kiten these days where idiots seem to be a bit 'thin on the ground' most of the time.
