Police teams carried out searches in Skopje over the weekend

As part of the campaign to reduce street crime in Skopje, police officers last weekend frisked 64 people and identified a total of 126. In addition, 54 vehicles and two motorcycles were searched.

A total of four people were arrested, three for gun control violations and one person was wanted on a court warrant.

The heightened security measures were introduced following the recent brutal murder of a jeweler in the centre of Skopje and several mafia-style attacks.
