In Luhansk region, smugglers set traps on the road to transport poults to Russia.

Recently, border guards of the Bilolutsk Border Guard Division of the Luhansk Border Guard Detachment found 20 boxes near the border, which contained about one thousand small ducklings. A rapid response group set off to search for the smugglers, but the border guards' service car came across a trap likely left by the smugglers. The wheel of the vehicle was damaged by welded metal pins - the so-called "hedgehog". During a search of the boxes, border guards found that about 400 ducklings could not stand the conditions created by the smugglers and died. The border guards handed over the rest of the poults for safekeeping in accordance with the established procedure.

Measures are being taken to identify those involved in illegal activities at the border.

Upon the fact of damage to the official car, the border guards sent a report to the National Police to record the information about the crime into URPI under Article 194 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Deliberate destruction or damage to property).
