A 16-year-old boy in the city of Tetovo was reportedly deprived of his freedom after being detained on suspicion of committing theft at the St. Mary of Tearoom church in the city. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, police sources stated that an officer from SRS Tetovo took custody of the minor on July 13, 2026, at approximately 11:30 PM in the central city square.
The detention followed allegations that the boy had stolen money and other items from the church premises earlier that day, around 9:10 PM. The incident was subsequently brought to the attention of the competent judicial prosecutor. Following established legal protocols for the detention of minors, the boy was transported for a consultation involving his parents and a representative from Centarot for social affairs.
The Ministry confirmed that the police were informed of the details surrounding his apprehension. The report details the sequence of events from the alleged theft to the formal process of detaining the juvenile. The measures taken suggest adherence to legal procedures designed to manage cases involving underage suspects.
Authorities maintained oversight throughout the process, ensuring that social services and parental figures were included in the initial consultation phase following the seizure of the minor.
