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.
Serbia cracking down on illegal drug production
Cannabis production remains illegal in Serbia, although activists are promoting its legalization for medicinal use.
Dacic said the investigation would ascertain the origin of the cannabis.
Serbia, which wants to join the European Union, has stepped up efforts against drug trafficking and production in recent years. Most drugs reach Serbia from the Middle East and Latin America.
