Transcarpathian border guards found contraband cigarettes

Yesterday, border guards of the "Dilove" department of the Mukachevo detachment prevented an attempt of tobacco smuggling.

While patrolling, border guards noticed a group of unidentified people with packages moving toward the borde. In order to prevent illegal transportation of contraband goods across the border, border guards immediately went to apprehend the offenders. Seeing the border guards, the offenders left the packages and ran away.

At a distance of 40 meters from the border, the smugglers left 8 packages with 3600 packs of cigarettes without excise stamps. The tobacco products were delivered to the Department of the Border Guard Service "Dilove". The measures to identify the persons involved in the illegal activities are being taken.
