Officers from Serbia’s anti-drug unit seized 36 kilograms of marijuana in Belgrade’s Krnjaca neighbourhood on May 29 and arrested three people. The operation was carried out on the orders of the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade, and the suspects are D.P. (27), V.P. (34) and A.A. (18).
The marijuana was found in two places. A vehicle held 27 packages, while nine further packages were thrown from the balcony of a flat as police moved in.
What police found at the scene
Besides the marijuana, the search uncovered equipment pointing to drug production. Investigators recovered bottles of battery acid, pH meters, a scale and vacuum bags, which according to the investigation are linked to the preparation of amphetamines.
All three suspects were taken into custody immediately after the arrest. The pre-trial proceedings are being led by the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade.
What happens next in the investigation?
The suspects are being held for up to 48 hours, after which prosecutors will decide on further measures. At this stage they remain suspects, ahead of any indictment or trial.
The quantity of 36 kilograms places this case among the larger marijuana seizures in the capital in recent times. How much do you think operations like this really disrupt the drug resale chain in Belgrade?
