Noticing the border guards, one person threw the packages and fled, the other was detained by police. Later, while inspecting the area, the border guards found a homemade wooden stack with the help of which the offenders were overcoming the control trail zone.

Tobacco products in the amount of 3,960 packs were delivered to the border guard unit for further transfer to the authorities. Border guards drew up administrative documents against the detainee for violating the legislation on border guard issues.
