The Kosovo Police have arrested a man in Prishtina after discovering a bomb, firearms, and cocaine during a search of his properties, in what authorities described as a major narcotics and arms operation.
The arrest took place on Friday evening in Jakov Xoxa Street, following an intelligence-led investigation.
“After an operational investigation, a Kosovar male was arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking. During the search, police seized a pistol with 11 bullets, a mobile phone, and €140 in cash,” the report states.
Further searches — conducted in two apartments and several basements used by the suspect — uncovered a significant arsenal and narcotics, including:
- 17.08 grams of suspected cocaine
- An explosive device (bomb)
- An automatic rifle AK-47
- A pistol and 20 bullets
- A digital scale used for drug measurement
- A DVR security recording system
All evidence has been confiscated, and the suspect has been detained by order of the prosecutor pending further investigation.
This case adds to a growing list of recent drug and weapons seizures in the capital, as police continue efforts to crack down on organized crime and illicit trafficking networks.
