Joint measures of Ukrainian and Romanian border guards to apprehend offenders, who try to illegally move contraband cigarettes across the border, continue on the border with Romania. Another proof of the effectiveness of such measures is the detention in Transcarpathia.
Thus, yesterday, having received from the Romanian colleagues the information about two people moving toward the Tisa river, which forms the border, border guards of the department "Solotvyno" of the Mukachevo Detachment immediately moved to the specified area. As a result of operational actions, at the distance of 150 meters to border, border guards found six packages of tobacco products which contained 3,000 packs of cigarettes "Marble" without excise stamps.
Another 10 packages of cigarettes were found by border guards of the department "Dilove". While patrolling, the border guards saw the van stopping near the border and several unloading packages out of it. Having noticed the border guards, the unknown men escaped in the vehicle. The smugglers left at the scene 10 packages which contained 4,800 packs of cigarettes "Marble" without excise stamps.
The found cigarettes were delivered to the Department of the Border Guard Service. Subsequently, border guards will hand over the contraband tobacco products to the competent authorities.
