Three detained in Chegrane after police find white powder
Police found a powdery substance in a car and at a residence; two suspects allegedly tried to run over officers and were arrested.
Three people from the village of Chegrane in the Gostivar municipality were detained after police found a white powdery substance in a vehicle and later inside a home linked to one of the suspects, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported.
The initial stop involved a 26-year-old man identified by initials H. S. During a check of his Mitsubishi, officers discovered a powdery material. A court-authorised search of his residence turned up an additional quantity of the same substance.
Attempt to run over officers, police say
While officers were working outside the house, two men arrived in a BMW — a 24-year-old V.Č. and a 35-year-old A.N. According to the Ministry, they attempted to run down police officers with the vehicle and made death threats before fleeing the scene. They were located shortly afterwards and taken into custody.
All three detainees have been placed under investigation. Authorities said that once the case file is fully documented, appropriate criminal charges will be filed.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs handled the operation and provided the basic details about the arrests and the ongoing procedural steps.
