On the border with Poland, border guards found drugs on travellers
Recently, border guards of the 7th Carpathian Border Guard Detachment prevented four attempts of illegal transportation of drugs across the border. Border guards were assisted by sniffer dogs.
One case was recorded on the train “Przemyśl-Kyiv”. A US citizen was found to be carrying cannabis and hallucinogenic mushrooms.
In the train “Rava-Ruska-Warsaw”, a citizen of Ukraine was found to be carrying marijuana. At the Shehyni border crossing point, sniffer dogs also helped to detect “merry medicine” on a citizen of Ukraine and at the Krakivets border crossing point on a citizen of Nigeria.
In all cases, the border guards informed the competent authorities.
As a reminder, in 2024, border guard sniffer dogs in the Lviv region helped to detect more than 13 kilograms of drugs.
