Based on signs of presence of specially manufactured caches in the vehicle, customs officers decided to conduct an in-depth customs inspection of the vehicle. As a result, they found 250 packs of cigarettes hidden from the customs control in the fuel tank of the vehicle. All the found the cigarettes were domestically produced, with excise stamps of Ukraine, brand "Marlboro Gold". The value of the found cigarettes is 9,285 UAH.
