The border guard detail of “the Velykyi Bychkiv” section of the Mukachevo detachment, which included conscripts, stopped the smugglers twice tonight.

At around 3 am, a group of people with packages was noticed by the border guard detail near the border. The smugglers ignored the lawful demands of the border guards to stop even after the warning shots. They left their packages and fled. The offenders planned to deliver 11 boxes of 5,500 packs of cigarettes to Romania.

Another attempt at tobacco smuggling was stopped by the same detail in the morning. At 7.30 a.m., when patrolling the Tisa shoal, 2 km from the previous detention place, the border guards found and detained two smugglers with cigarettes and a rubber boat. The offenders also had to be stopped with warning shots. In order to establish all the circumstances of the offense and draw up administrative and procedural documents, the smugglers were taken to the border guard unit.

Detected tobacco products, the estimated cost of which can reach 180 thousand hryvnias, will later be handed over to the SFS.
