(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAR 8 - Following the discovery of radioactive material in their vehicle, three Croatian nationals have been detained in Serbia, according to Serbian authorities, the BBC reported. Scanners discovered a "serious amount" of radiation on Saturday as they were about to enter Croatia at the Bezdan border crossing. According to Serbian customs, a subsequent search of the vehicle revealed the head of a radioactive lightning rod in the spare tyre slot of the boot.

Such rods were widely used in the past, but were being phased out in the past decades. (ANSA).
