Zagreb police have intensified their presence and patrols in the Sigečica neighborhood after local authorities reported escalating issues with minors damaging property and disrupting public order. The VIII Police Station in Zagreb (Trnje) confirmed it is aware of the problem and is actively conducting preventive and repressive measures to curb illegal activities and maintain peace.

Police stated they are working to identify the perpetrators and will prosecute anyone caught committing offenses. These often include acts of insolent behavior, fights, arguments, or shouting. For property damage, criminal investigations will be initiated once offenders are identified, with criminal charges filed with the competent Municipal State Attorney's Office in Zagreb.

Data from the first five months of this year reveals 163 incidents of insolent behavior across the Zagreb Police Department, with 13 in the Trnje district. Additionally, 450 incidents of fighting, arguing, or shouting were recorded, 24 of which occurred in Trnje. While minors were involved in only two cases of property damage, it remains unclear if these incidents were specific to the Trnje area. The police department reported 128 cases of property damage overall in the first five months, with a 77.3% resolution rate.
