The truck had a channel inside the structure, which is often used for smuggling, so customs officials put something inside to determine, based on the sound, if it was empty as it should be.

The driver (40) from Ljubovija was calm during the discovery of this crime, but it is possible that it is so thanks to the reassuring tables that were discovered in his personal bag.

The Ministry of the Interior announced that they arrested PJ (20) due to the existence of reasons to suspect that he committed the crime of unauthorized production and distribution of narcotics. The suspect was detained for up to 48 hours and will be transferred to the Pancevo Superior Prosecutor’s Office, along with a criminal report, according to a statement from the Interior Ministry.
