Serbian police seizes five tons of cannabis, assault rifles

Serbian police have seized five tons of marijuana, the biggest such catch in the country so far, after raiding a small agricultural and trade company in a village in central Serbia, Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said late on Thursday.
They have arrested two people but one suspect remains at large, he said.
“This is a record catch,” Dacic said in a statement, adding that police had also seized four assault rifles and an anti-tank rocket launcher.
Cannabis production remains illegal in Serbia, although activists are promoting its legalisation for medicinal use.
Dacic said the investigation would ascertain the origin of the cannabis.
