In Montenegro Robbers Dug a Tunnel To Break Into Court Storage Facility

Police in Montenegro have launched an investigation after discovering an underground tunnel connecting a residential building to a nearby court storage facility where seized drugs and other material evidence are stored.

This was reported by Balkan Insight.

According to Interior Minister Filip Adzic, the tunnel was discovered on Monday at the High Court of the Montenegrin capital Podgorica, which is considering various important criminal cases.

Officials say it remains unclear why the tunnel was dug, adding that nothing was missing from the vault. The court's vault contains evidence in ongoing cases, as well as large quantities of confiscated drugs.

"This was a well-planned and organised operation, which was prepared for months and resembles a militant operation," said Minister Adzic, adding that the apartment where the underground tunnel began was rented several months ago.

According to the head of the court, Boris Savic, the tunnel opening in the Montenegrin court building was found in a "well-hidden" place inside the storage facility. According to him, the attackers had been digging into the building's foundation for months to get inside.

"We found damaged items inside the storage facility, but almost nothing was missing," Savich said.

As previously reported by The Gaze, thieves in Switzerland managed to steal a donation box from a height of more than 2 kilometres by conquering one of the country's most difficult protected climbing routes on the Gemmi Pass. To do this, they crossed the gorge at an altitude of 2,350 metres using narrow steel ropes.

Upon discovery, the donation box was broken and empty. The thieves were not only skilled climbers, but also well equipped with the necessary climbing equipment. They brought tools to break the donation box by force, according to the climbing club.

Strangely enough, after the theft, the thieves continued climbing to the 2941-metre summit with the stolen funds. The climbing club cannot determine the exact amount of money stolen, but club member and mountain guide Richard Verlaine estimated it at least 400-500 Swiss francs (approximately 420-520 euros).
