Subotica police have arrested two individuals in separate operations on suspicion of illegal drug production and trafficking. The arrests were made following investigations into drug-related activities in the region.

In the first operation, police stopped a vehicle driven by L.L., a 19-year-old from Belgrade, on the highway near Subotica. A search of the vehicle's trunk revealed approximately 11 kilograms of marijuana packaged in 10 separate parcels.

In a second, distinct operation, police searched the apartment and other premises used by K.V., a 44-year-old resident of Subotica. During the search, officers discovered three marijuana plants, each about 50 centimeters tall, weighing approximately 770 grams. Additionally, 841 grams of processed marijuana in various packages were found. The search also uncovered about 1.5 kilograms of a plant material resembling hallucinogenic mushrooms, a smaller quantity of hashish, and equipment for laboratory cultivation of marijuana under artificial conditions.

Authorities also seized two mobile phones believed to have been used by K.V. in committing the criminal offense. Both suspects have been detained for up to 48 hours. They will be brought before the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Subotica along with criminal charges.
