Customs officers discovered hashish, amphetamine, MDMA and tetrahydrocannabinol; body‑cam footage recorded the seizure and a complaint was filed with the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office Kumanovo.
A German national was arrested at the Tabanovce border crossing after customs officers discovered several types of drugs hidden in his vehicle and on his person. The seizure was filmed with officers' body‑worn cameras and is now part of the case file.
During the entry inspection, officers found a greenish substance in a black bag, a yellow waxy material in black boxes and drugs fashioned in the shape of candies. The customs team also located grinders and a precision scale.
Further substances found during personal search
An additional personal search of the suspect turned up more material: greenish matter, white powder, a white gel and tablets in orange and brown colours. The man was travelling with his spouse at the time of the stop.
Inspectors from the Investigations Department carried out preliminary investigative actions on the scene. By order of the public prosecutor, forensic testing was performed to determine the composition of the seized substances.
A criminal complaint was filed with the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office Kumanovo against the German national for unauthorized production and placing on the market of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors.
