A gun and about half a kilogram of cocaine were found last night during a search of the apartment where Nikola Boljević (24), suspected of the murder of Simo Marković (52), a resident of Budva, was hiding.
This was announced by the Police Directorate, stating that last night, as a continuation of coordinated activities that followed the arrest of a suspect for the criminal offense of murder, their officers conducted searches at several locations in the territory of Spuž and Podgorica.
"Vijesti" was told by several sources from the Police Directorate that the arrested Boljević is a member of the organized crime group Kavački Clan.
"On that occasion, a gun was found and seized from the suspect in illegal possession, as well as nearly half a kilogram of cocaine. In a separate operation in the territory of Podgorica, a close relative of the suspect was arrested and 14 packages of cocaine were found in his possession," the police statement reads.
They state that in the apartment where Boljević was hiding, they found a Colt Commander pistol with seven rounds of ammunition in the frame, which will be the subject of an expert examination to determine whether it was used in the commission of the crime, and about half a kilogram of the narcotic drug cocaine.
Officers of the Crime Prevention Sector, together with officers of the Podgorica Security Department, last night, pursuant to a court order, searched the apartment and other premises used by Miloš Causevic (36) from Podgorica, the son-in-law of the suspect Boljevic.
"A search of the facility found 14 PVC packages containing a white powdery substance resembling cocaine, intended, as suspected, for further street sale. The outcome of the search was reported to the state prosecutor at the Higher State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica, on whose order MC was deprived of liberty on suspicion of committing the criminal offense of unauthorized production, possession and distribution of narcotic drugs," the police statement reads.
The security institution said that they are continuing with intensive and comprehensive activities in relation to the suspect Boljević:
"As well as identifying related persons, with the aim of fully elucidating this and other criminal acts."
Boljević was arrested last night in Spuž, in an operation in which members of the Special Police Unit also participated.
After the arrest, the Police Department announced that by undertaking investigative measures and actions in intensive cooperation with the Higher State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica, they had secured evidence that reasonably suggests that the Podgorica resident had committed the criminal offense of murder and the criminal offense of illegal possession and carrying of weapons and explosives.
"Police officers of the Police Administration - the competent organizational units of the Crime Prevention Sector and the Security Departments of Budva and Podgorica, through synchronized action, thorough planning, located and in a tactically precise action deprived NB of his liberty in the territory of Spuž, Danilovgrad Municipality, where, with the support of members of the Special Police Unit, he was deprived of his liberty and taken to the Security Department of Podgorica," explained the UP.
Boljević, who was arrested last night in mid-September, was released from the pre-trial detention center, where he was held on suspicion of committing attempted murder on February 22, 2025, on Nikšićki put Street in Podgorica. After the attempted murder, he hid in a "shack" in Budva, where the police arrested him.
"NB was released after the expiry of the detention ordered by the competent court to defend himself at liberty in further proceedings," the UP said last night.
