Major Raid on Illegal Zagreb Club Uncovers Drugs, Weapons

Zagreb police, in collaboration with state inspectors and customs officials, conducted a significant raid on an unregistered catering establishment in the Trešnjevka area, uncovering a wide array of illegal activities. The operation, which involved checking 52 individuals, resulted in the discovery and confiscation of drugs and weapons, leading to several arrests and the closure of the establishment.

The raid yielded substantial quantities of various narcotics, including cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA, and cannabis extracts. Authorities suspect these drugs were intended for further distribution, given the amounts and packaging found. One individual was also found in possession of a telescopic baton, two folding knives, and two pepper sprays, leading to charges related to illegal weapons possession.

In addition to the drug and weapon seizures, state inspectors issued an order prohibiting a 55-year-old man from operating an unregistered catering business. This individual, along with a 41-year-old suspect, is believed to be involved in organizing events at the location. The establishment was subsequently closed and sealed by authorities.

The investigation is ongoing, with police suspecting that the drugs found were for resale. The 55-year-old suspect has been handed over to a detention supervisor, and criminal charges have been filed against him for the unauthorized production and trafficking of drugs. This operation highlights the ongoing efforts by Zagreb police to combat illegal activities and maintain public safety within the city.
