Three Montenegrin nationals have been arrested on suspicion of robbing a fellow citizen’s apartment in Krusevac. The suspects, identified as M. M. (2003), M. O. (2008) and A. K. (2002), are charged with committing robbery as co-perpetrators. Police tracked them down not far from the scene, carrying items and cash suspected of belonging to the victim.
The arrests were confirmed by the Interior Ministry (MUP), in a statement from the Krusevac Police Department released on Wednesday, August 12, 2026.
How the robbery allegedly unfolded
According to the statement, the attack took place the previous evening, around 9 p.m. The suspects, it says, “rang the doorbell, sprayed the victim with pepper spray, threatened him and forced him into a room.”
The Ministry’s statement makes no mention of the door being forced or damaged, nor of any weapon being used.
The following items were allegedly taken from the apartment:
- watches
- a mobile phone
- cash
The total value of the stolen property is estimated at around 750,000 dinars.
What was found on the suspects?
Police caught up with the three suspects not far from the scene. They were found carrying items and cash suspected of having been taken from the victim, and everything was recovered.
The Ministry described its response as a swift and effective operation that solved the robbery. All three suspects are Montenegrin nationals.
Held for up to 48 hours
By order of the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Krusevac, the suspects have been ordered held for up to 48 hours. Once that period expires, they will be brought before the prosecutor, along with a criminal complaint for robbery.
None of the three has been found guilty of any crime. Until a final verdict, they are considered suspects.
The Ministry released the suspects’ birth years rather than their ages. The youngest of the three was born in 2008.
Apartment robberies are not an isolated case
This is not the only robbery arrest we have reported on in recent days. Earlier, a 53 year old man identified as M. M. was arrested in Belgrade, suspected of robberies in the New Belgrade area.
The Krusevac Police Department has not said whether the suspects have prior records, nor whether they are being linked to other reported robberies in the area.
