The Split-Dalmatia Police reported on Friday that more than 38kg of various drugs were found and seized in seven separate police operations in the areas of Split, Makarska, Omiš, Dugopolje and Imotski over the past few days. Criminal investigations have implicated eight individuals.
Tino Milat, spokesperson for the Split-Dalmatia Police, stated that this is a record drug seizure for 2026 to date. He noted that a total of 155kg of various drugs has been seized this year.
Among the seized drugs, the largest quantities were cannabis, around 19kg, and amphetamine, around 17kg. Approximately 1.8kg of hashish and just over 32g of cocaine were also found. Across all seven proceedings, 19.1kg of cannabis, 17kg of amphetamine, 1.8kg of hashish and 32.55g of cocaine were seized.
Milat clarified that the eight suspects did not act as an organised group, but rather that these were separate cases. He stated that all incidents were completely distinct. Of the eight suspects, seven are men and one is a woman, and the proceedings were conducted by different organisational units of the police administration.
In Split, a 21-year-old man was arrested on 21 October. A search of his apartment and other premises revealed 11,595.5g of cannabis, 995g of hashish and 11.9g of cocaine. Two digital scales with traces of drugs and 960 euros were also seized.
In a second case in Split, a smaller quantity of cannabis was found on a 23-year-old man. A search of the premises used by the 23-year-old revealed an additional 818.5g of hashish and 93g of cannabis. A 46-year-old woman was found with 17g of amphetamine and items with traces of drugs. The 23-year-old man and the 46-year-old woman are under criminal investigation on suspicion of unauthorised production and trafficking of drugs.
On 22 October in Split, police found seven kilograms of cannabis on a man during field activities. In the Makarska area, a day earlier, a search of the apartment and other premises used by a 28-year-old man revealed 425g of cannabis and a digital scale with traces of drugs.
Criminal complaints have been filed against the eight individuals on suspicion of unauthorised production and trafficking of drugs.
