Shopping malls in Sofia and across the country will increase the number of security guards where needed. Additional panic buttons are also to be put in place if retailers wish, the Bulgarian Retail Association said. Groups of suspicious persons will be checked and, if necessary, removed from the premises with the assistance of the police.

The measure is being taken following a series of attacks and other acts of aggression in Sofia-based shopping malls by groups of teenagers aged between 13 and 17, including football hooligans, in recent months. Administrative penalties have been imposed on some of them.

The malls' managements are calling for tougher penalties, which would reduce such cases of aggression in public places.
