During the weekend from June 28 to July 1, 2024, the Zagreb Police Department conducted an intensified vehicle and driver control operation aimed at curbing the most severe traffic violations. Special emphasis was placed on offenses such as driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, exceeding the speed limit, not using seat belts, improper use of mobile phones, and driving without a valid license or under a ban.

Operation Results
During the operation, a total of 493 traffic violations were recorded:
- 98 violations for excessive speed
- 57 violations for not using seat belts
- 46 violations for driving under the influence of alcohol
- 46 violations for improper use of mobile phones
- 24 violations for driving unregistered or technically defective vehicles
- 5 violations for driving before obtaining the right to drive
- 4 violations for driving under a ban
- 213 other violations

Alcoholic Drivers
The highest blood alcohol concentrations were recorded for:
- A 45-year-old driver with 3.33 g/kg
- A 36-year-old female driver with 2.06 g/kg. In Velika Buna, the 36-year-old, driving under the influence of alcohol, caused a traffic accident with material damage. She drove off the road into a drainage ditch and hit a yard fence. After the accident, she left the scene without leaving information. The police found her, arrested her, and placed her in special rooms until the alcohol effects wore off. It was found that she was driving despite her driver's license being revoked due to accumulated negative points.

Out of 46 drivers caught under the influence of alcohol, 13 drivers (28.3%) had a blood alcohol concentration higher than 1.5 g/kg. Among them were eight young drivers (17.4%).

Five people were placed in special rooms until the alcohol effects wore off, and eight people were arrested and brought before the competent misdemeanor court.

Crime news desk

The crime news desk operates as an independent editorial team that deals daily with topics requiring particular seriousness, patience, and journalistic responsibility. Our articles emerge from many years of experience working with complex stories involving crime, the judiciary, security challenges, and events that shape society in its most sensitive moments. These topics are handled by people accustomed to working under pressure, verifying every piece of information, and understanding the broader picture behind each case.

Professional work in this field is not based solely on monitoring official reports or court proceedings. Behind every article stands the personal dedication of journalists who have followed the development of criminal phenomena for years, spoken with relevant sources, and sought to bring readers closer to a reality that often remains hidden behind short news pieces. The desk adheres to the principle that no story is “just news,” but a reflection of situations that affect entire communities, families, and institutions.

In our work, great attention is devoted to understanding context: how an event arises, what preceded it, what consequences it leaves behind, and why it matters to the public. That is why the texts often rely on the experience of editors who have followed criminal cases for decades, who know the course of investigations, and who understand the work of police, prosecutors, and courts. Such experience enables us to interpret events clearly and responsibly, without sensationalism, yet with enough detail to give the reader a complete picture.

The desk pays particular attention to an ethical approach to sensitive topics. Every word must be measured, every piece of information verified, and every article written with respect for the people affected by tragic or difficult situations. For this reason, our articles strive for balance: to inform without harming, to explain without prejudging, to bring the public closer to what is happening while remaining professional and dignified.

Through everything we do, we seek to maintain readers’ trust by providing clear, accurate, and credible information about events that often provoke concern and questions. Crime reporting is not just a section but a responsible journalistic discipline that requires experience, seriousness, and a deep understanding of society. Our desk is committed to this every day, convinced that quality information strengthens public safety, trust, and awareness of the realities that shape today’s world.
