Border Police Sector officers seized a vehicle wanted by Interpol Switzerland today at the Kula border crossing, the Police Directorate announced.

It is stated that Kosovo citizen TK (43) and the VW Golf 7 vehicle he was driving were checked upon entering Montenegro.

"A check through the police's electronic records revealed that this vehicle is the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by the NCB of Interpol Switzerland," the police said.

"MM was identified and located in a catering facility in Bijelo Polje, while NK was found at the scene," the statement said.

It is added that MM and NK were questioned and that criminal charges were filed against NK and MM with the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Bijelo Polje on suspicion of committing the criminal offense of smuggling.
