Budva police officers seized a large quantity of marijuana, hashish and ecstasy and arrested SF (19) from Bjelopolje, suspected of unauthorized production, possession and distribution of narcotics, as well as Serbian citizen VR (23), who is charged with forgery of a document.
The Police Directorate announced that VR is a multiple returnee in committing crimes in various areas of crime, and that Serbia is seeking him for crimes committed on the territory of that country.
"Namely, police officers in Budva controlled SF and the person who presented an ID card issued by Croatia, in the name of MH (23)," the statement said.
Police said that during a search of SF's backpack, officers found 11 packages of marijuana.
They stated that at that moment SF and the person who introduced himself as MH fled.
"By taking measures and actions on the ground, police officers quickly located the facility - a rented apartment in Prijevor - where these individuals were staying, after which they brought them to official premises," the statement said.
The police said that, pursuant to a court order, a search was conducted of the apartment where they were staying.
"On that occasion, several packages of marijuana, weighing over 62 grams, packages of hashish, weighing around 44 grams, as well as 54 ecstasy tablets with the "Super Mario" logo were found," the statement said.
It is stated that the search also found scales for precise measurements, as well as other items and traces related to drug sales.
"Officers of the Budva Security Department conducted checks through international operational cooperation, during which it was determined that MH with the specified data does not exist in Croatian databases, and that the personal documents he provided were not authentic," the police said.
They said that further checks determined that the person who falsely presented himself as a Croatian citizen was actually VR (23) from Bor, a Serbian citizen, who is registered in Serbian records as a multiple returnee in committing criminal offenses.
"And for 27 criminal offenses, including - illegal production and distribution of narcotic drugs, serious bodily injury, violent behavior at a sports event or public gathering, causing general danger, endangering security, robbery and assault on an official in the performance of official duty, for which he is wanted by the police in Serbia," the statement said.
It is stated that VR, by order of the state prosecutor at the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Kotor, was arrested on suspicion of committing the criminal offense of forging a document, while SF was arrested by order of the state prosecutor at the Higher State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica, on suspicion of committing the criminal offense of unauthorized production, possession and distribution of narcotic drugs.
