On May 14 during the verification of the information of the operatives and with their participation, the border guard detail from Seliatyn Border Guard Division noticed 2 cars with Italian and Polish registration 5 km to the border. Drivers did not respond to the lawful demands of border guards, so the detail used weapons, firing 14 warning shots into the mountain. Subsequently, one offendern - the driver of the car, was stopped, now he is being prosecuted under Article 202 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, another managed to escape. Measures to find him are underway.

Vehicles containing 10 packages of cigarettes were delivered to the border guard unit.

 In addition, on May 15, realizing the operative information of the officers of internal and personal security, the servicemen of  Luzhanka Border Guard Division also prevented the offenses with the use of weapons. Fearing persecution, smugglers left their bags and fled.

9 packages of cigarettes without excise stamps of Ukraine were detected at the scene and delivered to the border guard unit.

In both cases, the competent authorities were notified of the detection of criminal offenses under Article 204 of the Criminal Code “Illegal manufacture, storage, sale or transportation for sale of excisable goods.”
