At the copra baths, he used a knife to disturb visitors

In the early hours of the morning, a disturbance unfolded at a beach in Portorož, near Koper, involving two unidentified men who physically attacked a local man. According to police reports, the incident occurred shortly after 5 AM when the two men approached a 29-year-old resident of Koper and began verbally harassing his girlfriend. When the victim told them to leave and started recording the situation on his mobile phone, the men escalated their actions and turned physical. The 29-year-old was injured as a result and sought medical attention at the Isola hospital. Police have since conducted an investigation at the scene and are treating the case as an instance of violent assault.

The attack took place during a time when the area was presumably quiet, allowing the perpetrators to act without immediate witnesses. The victim's decision to document the incident suggests he felt threatened and wanted evidence of the altercation. However, the attackers' response indicates they were either unafraid of being recorded or had some intent to prevent such documentation. The police are currently gathering more information about the individuals involved and are working to identify them.

In another part of the region, a chain collision occurred in the Markovec tunnel around 2:15 PM. A 47-year-old motorcyclist was driving on the left lane when he lost control due to excessive speed and fell off the road. Following this, a 45-year-old woman driving a car from the vicinity of Isola slowed down and stopped. However, because she did not maintain a safe distance, her vehicle was struck by a 27-year-old motorcyclist from Koper. The 47-year-old motorcyclist sustained minor injuries, while both motorcyclists received payment orders from the police. This incident highlights the dangers of inadequate safety distances and improper speeds in confined spaces like tunnels.

Meanwhile, in the area of Ankaran, a theft occurred when an unknown perpetrator exploited the brief absence of a 67-year-old Italian citizen. The victim had left her bag on the beach and gone to a nearby café. During her absence, the thief approached the bag and stole it along with its contents. The police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the theft and have classified the case as burglary. The incident underscores the vulnerability of personal belongings in public areas where people might be distracted or away briefly.

In Piran, a similar incident occurred when an unknown person stole the front license plate from a Škoda Octavia registered under the number MB 72-ZAB. The police are appealing to anyone who has seen the license plate to come forward with information. Such incidents highlight the need for vigilance regarding vehicle security, especially in areas frequented by tourists and locals alike.

In addition to these incidents, there were reports of break-ins in Izola and the surrounding areas of Koper. In Izola, an unknown individual broke into a residential house and stole gold items. Similarly, in the vicinity of Koper, another unknown person attempted to break into a home but fled upon triggering the alarm without taking anything. Both cases are under investigation by the police, who are collecting further information to identify the suspects. These burglaries emphasize the ongoing issue of property crime in certain regions and the importance of securing homes against potential intrusions.
