On Tuesday, officers from the Vareliai Border Guard Team of the SBGS Varėna Border Team patrolled the forest near the Latežeris village of Druskininkai municipality and noticed several people. This place is about a kilometer from the border with Belarus, writes the SBGS report.
Surveillance border guards came from the border with Belarus and transported boxes. Self-propelled clamps were attached to them to make the load more comfortable to carry. When border guards approached the carriers from a distance, they also noticed SBGS officers, threw boxes, and exploded deep into the forest.
Immediately, more Kabeliai border guards and service dog handlers were used to comb the forested areas near Latežeris.
From the place where the carriers dumped their packages, Belgian Shepherd Itu was ordered to inspect the area. Itas sniffed trails and began to lead them to the depths of Lithuania through the forest.
Elsewhere, a team from the Kabeli Firewall Border Guard, which included a German Shepherd, Geris, saw a man from the forest on the border. Then Good did it. He encountered a carrier who was reluctant to compete with a German Shepherd at high speed, and his guard encountered the rushed border guards. The detainee turned out to be a 24-year-old Alytus resident.
Soon Belgian Shepherd Itas appeared at this location, confidently following in the footsteps of resident Alytus of the lost burden. In total, the smugglers transported 10,000 packages of Minsk 5 Super Slims and NZ Gold cigarettes with special Belarusian stamps. The value of such cargo in Lithuania with taxes is about 33 thousand. euros
A pre-trial investigation has been launched into Varėna’s team regarding the illegal removal of property subject to excise duty. For this, Alytus residents face a fine or prison of up to 8 years. The detainee was detained by SBGS officials. The rest of the people who transported and escaped cigarettes are sought.
The contraband cargo is stored in the cable border barrier.
