Dunavski Park Robbery: Fourth Suspect Arrested in Novi Sad
Police arrested S. V. (23) of Temerin, closing the investigation into three robberies committed in June in Novi Sad. The other three suspects are already in custody.
Officers of Serbia’s Interior Ministry in Novi Sad, working with the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Novi Sad, arrested S. V. (23) of Temerin. His arrest closes out the investigation into three robberies committed in June, two of them carried out and one left as an attempt.
Investigators suspect S. V. took part in all three offenses that prosecutors have charged against the group. The other three suspects are already in custody: Dj. D. (31) of Valjevo, arrested two days before S. V., along with A. K. (22) from the area around Novi Sad and D. Dj. (23) from the area around Zabalj, both arrested earlier.
What Happened in Dunavski Park
The first case dates back to June 11. According to the Interior Ministry’s statement, S. V., Dj. D., A. K. and D. Dj. physically attacked a 22-year-old man that day in Dunavski Park and, threatening him, took his money and wristwatch.
On the same day, June 11, S. V. and A. K. attacked another victim in the same way, taking money and documents from a 29-year-old man.
The third case, on June 28, stayed at the attempt stage: S. V. and Dj. D. tried to snatch a handbag from a 45-year-old man but did not succeed.
Next: Handover to the Prosecutor
S. V. has been ordered held for up to 48 hours, authorities said. Along with the criminal complaint against him, he will be brought before the higher public prosecutor in Novi Sad, who will decide how the case proceeds.
His three co-suspects, Dj. D., A. K. and D. Dj., have been in custody since earlier, under previous rulings by the competent court.
Under Serbian law, all four are considered suspects, not convicts, until a final verdict is reached.
