Border guards seize cigarettes smuggled from Belarus worth EUR 600,000

Last week, Lithuanian border guards at Stasylų railway station, southeastern Lithuania, seized two shipments of smuggled goods, nearly 160,000 packs of cigarettes whose market value exceeds EUR 600,000.

The State Border Guard Service (VSAT) said its officers checked a freight train last Friday that was transporting various building materials from Belarus to Russia’s Kaliningrad Oblast in transit via Lithuania.
