The police arrested two Albanian citizens who are suspected of putting three suitcases of drugs on a bus that was heading to Split from Montenegro.
According to "Vijesti" information, the bus driver and conductor reported to the customs officials and the police that three suspicious suitcases were in the trunk.
One of the eyewitnesses told "Vijest" that the drugs were found after the bus crossed the Debeli Brijeg border crossing.
He claims that just before arriving at the Croatian border, the driver and the conductor checked the trunk and asked the passengers whose three suitcases they had. None of the passengers on the bus said that those suitcases were his, which is why they opened them.
They found packages stuck with duct tape in the suitcases and returned to the Montenegrin border.
