The two arrested individuals, a 49-year-old and a 50-year-old, are suspected of jointly acquiring large quantities of cocaine. Police believe they stored, weighed, and repackaged the drugs in a Trnje garage before distributing them for sale. The 50-year-old voluntarily surrendered 14.76 grams of cocaine and a sum of money suspected to be proceeds from drug sales.

Further investigation revealed that the 49-year-old may have operated his own drug business, allegedly procuring cocaine, marijuana, hashish, and MDMA for resale. His garage search yielded 31 grams of cocaine, 1790 grams of marijuana, 390 grams of hashish, 90 MDMA tablets, 1070 Normabel tablets, 308 Subotex tablets, 30 Praxitene tablets, 520 Alprazolam tablets, and 2.2 liters of methadone. Additionally, 3850 pills of unknown chemical composition were found and sent for analysis. The police also suspect the 49-year-old of engaging in the illegal trade of untaxed cigarettes and tobacco.
