What he wanted to do with this is unclear. Nevertheless, border officials arrested an Austrian (40) who tried to smuggle a pistol and 509 rounds of ammunition from Croatia to Montenegro in his car. It was not until New Year’s Eve that an Austrian and his arsenal of weapons were arrested at the same intersection.
It seems quite unlikely that the Austrian just wanted to go on holiday, given his spicy trunk. As the Montenegrin daily “Vijesti” reported, the man tried to come from Croatia to Montenegro with a “Česká” pistol and 509 rounds of corresponding 9mm ammunition.
Authorities, who say they are currently undertaking “intensive activities” against border smuggling and cross-border crime, arrested the Austrian for illegal weapons possession and smuggling.
Air rifles, gas bottles, pistols
Not the first case of red-white-red weapons smuggling at the Debeli Brijeg border crossing. On New Year’s Eve, an Austrian (54) wanted to bring a whole arsenal of weapons to Montenegro in his car.
In addition to two air rifles and gas bottles, the 54-year-old also carried a Walter pistol and 575 rounds of ammunition in his trunk. He was also arrested.
