An attempt to illegally transport cigarettes was prevented overnight at the railway BCP "Yagodyn."

Tobacco products without Ukrainian excise stamps were discovered under the passengers' mattress in a compartment of a passenger train heading from Kyiv (Ukraine) to Helm (Poland). Two Ukrainian female citizens born in 1965 and 1968 attempted to transport the tobacco goods, concealed with bed linen.

In total, 2,210 packs (221 blocks) of cigarettes without excise stamps worth 70,000 hryvnias were found.

The goods have been confiscated, and a protocol for violating customs regulations has been drafted.
