On Sunday, September 29, 2024, shortly after 10 PM, in Sveti Ivan Zelina, on Zagrebačka Street, a police officer of the Zagreb Police Department was conducting a routine traffic control. During the supervision, he noticed a 50-year-old driver of a vehicle with Zagreb license plates moving in the southern direction. At the moment the driver violated traffic regulations, the police officer decided to stop the vehicle.


The police officer used an official badge with the sign "stop police" to signal the driver to stop. However, the driver ignored the sign and continued driving south, thereby breaking the law. After a short chase, the police officers managed to stop him in the place Gornje Psarjevo, where they conducted further supervision of the vehicle and the driver.


Identified irregularities during supervision


During the conducted supervision, the driver was subjected to a breathalyzer test, and the results showed the presence of alcohol in the blood at a concentration of 1.86 g/kg, which far exceeds the allowed limits. Additionally, it was established that the driver was traveling at a speed of 77 km/h in a section of the road where the maximum permitted speed is limited to 50 km/h. Despite clear signals from the police to stop, the driver continued driving until he was forced to stop after a short chase.


Consequences for the driver


After the police officers established the violations, the driver was immediately arrested and transferred to the competent misdemeanor court. There, he was fined 1770 euros for the offenses of driving under the influence of alcohol and excessive speed. In addition to the fine, the driver was also given a protective measure banning him from operating a "B" category motor vehicle for a duration of six months.


This case is yet another example of the serious consequences of violating traffic regulations, especially when it comes to driving under the influence of alcohol, which poses a direct danger to the driver, passengers, and other road users. The police officers appeal to all drivers to respect speed limits and not to operate vehicles under the influence of alcohol to avoid such and similar situations that can lead to serious accidents and severe consequences.

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.
