Kosovo Customs officials, working alongside the Kosovo Police, have reported the discovery of two separate instances of narcotic substances during routine vehicle inspections at the Vërmicë Border Crossing Point. According to reports from Kosovo Customs, the first incident involved a detailed inspection of a vehicle entering the Republic of Kosovo. During this check, authorities recovered 104.90 grams of a suspected narcotic substance, identified as cocaine, which was concealed within a traveler’s personal bag.
Preliminary testing using TruNarc equipment, supplemented by field tests, yielded positive results confirming the presence of cocaine. Following the thorough inspection and scanning of the vehicle, no other irregularities were noted, and the case remains under further investigation by the relevant authorities. In a separate incident at the same border crossing, Kosovo Customs officers discovered another consignment of narcotics.
This second case involved the seizure of 5.53 grams of an unidentified narcotic substance during the inspection of a different vehicle. These joint operations by customs and police underscore ongoing efforts to monitor and interdict illegal trafficking at key border points within Kosovo. The seizures highlight the continued focus on combating illicit drug smuggling through official border checkpoints.
