During the night from Monday to Tuesday, Švenčionys Border Guard officers from the SBGS Vilnius Border Team patrolled in the vicinity of Jaciūnai village, Švenčionys district. Border guards noticed three men carrying a bundle in the forest near Lake Glušnia. This place is about a kilometer from the state border with Belarus.

When SBGS officers demanded that it stop, the men threw bundles and exploded. A carrier was detained by border guards. The other two took advantage of the darkness and fled the forest. A cynologist with the help of a service dog searched the area, but found no refugees. Continue your search.
Border guards discovered that the detainee resided in 40 districts of Vilnius. An inspection of the three packages revealed that the smugglers were transporting 5,999 packages of Fest cigarettes with Belarusian stamps.

Due to this incident, the officers of the SBGS Vilnius border team launched a pre-trial investigation led by the Prosecutor of the Vilnius Regional Prosecutor’s Office. After questioning, a Vilnius district resident was released through a preventive measure – a written promise not to leave. He faces a fine or a prison sentence of up to eight years.
