POLICE NOTICE:

The Director of the Vlora Local Police Directorate, Chief Elidon Çela, at a press conference on intensive actions aimed at cracking down on illegal possession of weapons and the cultivation of narcotic plants with lamps.

Hello everyone,
thank you for your presence at this conference.

I am with the Deputy Director for Criminal Investigation, Klodian Kondi, and the Head of the Vlora Police Station, Elvis Peza, to share with you and through you with the public, the results of continuous investigative and tracking work, based also on information received from citizens to combat phenomena that threaten the lives and health of citizens.

As a result of the maximum commitment of the structures of the Vlora Local Police Directorate, the very good cooperation with law enforcement agencies, as well as the coordination and support from the General Directorate of the State Police, two police operations were finalized today in Vlora: first, to capture highly socially dangerous persons who circulate with firearms and second, to crack down on the criminal activity of cultivating narcotic plants in closed environments, in laboratory conditions using lamps.

In this context, today at noon, thanks to the cooperation and coordination of actions and the exchange of information between the Vlora Local Police Directorate and the Directorate of the Special Operational Force in the Criminal Police Department of the State Police, within the framework of the police operation codenamed "Danger", it became possible to capture a person with a high social risk, who was traveling armed, in the "Pavarsia" neighborhood, near Lungomare.

Based on police intelligence information and after a well-coordinated operation, operational services made it possible to locate, neutralize and capture citizen ES, 38 years old, a person with a significant criminal record, previously arrested and investigated by foreign authorities for serious criminal offenses in the field of crimes against the person.

During the search of him, the Police found and seized a pistol firearm, along with a magazine of combat ammunition.

Citizen ES, upon seeing the Police services, attempted to leave and pointed his firearm at the Police services, but was unable to shoot or leave, as, thanks to the professionalism of the Police forces, it was possible to neutralize and arrest him.

The firearm will undergo ballistics testing to verify whether it has been used in previous criminal events.

Also, in relation to this incident, citizen M. Sh., 33 years old, who was traveling with the 38-year-old, who has already been arrested, was prosecuted for failure to report a crime.

Also today, the structures of the Vlora Local Police Directorate, following continuous controls to prevent and crack down on the cultivation of narcotic plants in open areas and closed environments, based on information provided by police intelligence and cooperation with citizens, finalized the second police operation codenamed "Indoor".

As part of this operation, the structures of the Vlora Police Commissariat, in cooperation with the Narcotics Investigation Sector, discovered in the "24 Maji" neighborhood, on the first floor of a three-story building, two premises specially adapted for the cultivation of narcotic plants.

During the control carried out inside these premises adapted for cultivation using lamps, around 780 cannabis plants were found and seized, 482 of which were planted in cubes. The height of the cultivated narcotic plants reached a height of 90 to 110 cm. Also seized were 80 powerful lighting lamps, 8 aspirators for airing the environment, 80 transformers, medications, chemical fertilizers and other specialized equipment for growing narcotic plants in closed spaces.

During the operation, citizen AL, 24 years old, born in "Përlat", Mirditë, and resident of Lezha, was found and arrested in flagrante delicto in this environment.

This citizen is suspected of taking care of the cultivated plants and providing the necessary conditions for their maintenance.

Following the investigative actions, citizen IK, 24 years old, resident of Fier, has been identified and declared wanted, who is suspected of having rented this premises. The Police continue to conduct checks to locate and capture him.

During the operation, following the control exercised in this facility, in an apartment on the third floor, rented by citizen EL, 35 years old, resident of Vlora, the services found and seized a quantity of the narcotic substance cannabis. Following the actions, the possessor of the narcotic substance was arrested in flagrante delicto.

Under the direction of the Prosecutor's Office, intensive investigations continue to identify and apprehend other citizens involved in this criminal activity.

The procedural materials for both cases were transferred to the Prosecutor's Office at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction in Vlora, for further legal action.

These operations are another testament to the dedication and professionalism of the Vlora Police in the fight against criminal elements and in creating a safer environment for citizens.

Close cooperation with the Prosecutor's Office and the use of modern investigative methods are yielding concrete results in identifying and cracking down on criminal groups.

Preventing the cultivation of narcotic plants, their distribution in various environments, the circulation of firearms and cracking down on illegal trafficking are priorities of the work of the Police structures operating in the Vlora district.

For these priorities to be best fulfilled, even greater support from citizens is needed, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their cooperation and support so far and to invite them once again to continue and strengthen their cooperation with the Police, by reporting every case of illegality and contributing to the fight against crime.

Accurate and rapid information from the community and the media is a key factor in preventing and cracking down on illegal activities.

Police controls and operations will continue without interruption throughout the territory of the district, with the aim of guaranteeing security, preventing crime and cracking down on groups that violate public order and peace.
