Police in Montenegro detained A.M., a 21-year-old man from Bar, after a packet containing about two grams of marijuana was found and seized from him.[1] Officers of the regional security centres North, South and West carried out the intensified preventive and repressive controls the previous evening.[1] The controls covered motorists and vehicles, persons of operational interest, members of organised crime groups, and catering establishments and casinos, with mini-blockades, raids and targeted checks of premises.[1] Officers checked 48 premises, 31 catering venues and 17 casinos, raiding five of the catering venues, and controlled more than 1,500 people, including 71 operationally interesting persons, four of whom were sanctioned.[1]

In traffic the police checked 1,850 drivers and vehicles and excluded 48 of them from traffic.[1] Of 235 drivers breathalysed, 37 were found to be under the influence of alcohol and two tested positive for psychoactive substances.[1] Officers issued 275 misdemeanour warrants and reports under the road traffic safety law and arrested 14 people for traffic violations.[1] Three people were found without a registered residence in Montenegro and handed to immigration inspectors.[1]

The Police Directorate reported about 15 arrests in the operation, 14 of them for traffic violations, and said the 21-year-old from Bar was among those deprived of liberty over the marijuana.[2] The Montenegrin-language version of the same report records the same figures and the same seizure of about two grams of marijuana from the 21-year-old from Bar.[3]
