“Four years ago, the plot was planted by a partner, me and two other friends, and there were about 2,400 seedlings on it. The plantation was fenced with wire mesh, but that did not stop the criminal from breaking into the darkness and committing theft. “Since the bags with peat are quite heavy, I guess he came back a few nights and the question is what he would have taken if the neighbors hadn’t noticed that something strange was happening in the orchards,” Rajko Đenić told RINA.

The theft was immediately reported to the competent authorities, and members of the Novi Varoš police managed to catch the thief in the vicinity of Prijepolje and return part of the stolen seedlings to the owners.

“Each of those uprooted seedlings would give a few kilograms of fruit this summer, but as the main veins were broken, we threw away those seedlings that were returned, because they are completely unusable. In order to put these plants on healthy feet, we had many problems, because the plantation in Akmačići was raised to about 1,000 meters above sea level, and the optimal for growing blueberries is from 600 to 800 meters, but we managed to bring water and thus provide yield, ” said Djenic.

– The police determined through operative work that this is a villa that is completely isolated from other houses, in which it seemed as if no one lived, nor were any activities noticed. It was interesting to them that two Rottweilers were guarding such a lonely, seemingly abandoned house. When the police decided to enter the house last Friday, after receiving a court search warrant, the dogs, which otherwise belong to the category of dangerous, attacked them, so the agency that deals with animal protection had to react – local media state.

The police were greeted by the strong smell of marijuana in the villa itself, and from the ground floor of the house they could not be entered either in the basement or on the first floor. After the search, secret passages were discovered, and the plantation was reached – through a closet!

1,050 marijuana plants in different stages of growth were found in the villa, as well as a room for drying plants with 355 grams of cannabis buds, while in the basement there was a larger plantation with 1,150 plants that were in optimal condition for harvesting.
