Polish customs officers have intercepted another shipment of smuggled cigarettes at the Belarusian border.

The contraband was discovered at the rail terminal in Małaszewicze. During an inspection of a freight train using an X-ray scanner, one of the wagons loaded with gravel aroused suspicion. A subsequent search uncovered 4,000 packs of Belarusian cigarettes hidden inside.

Criminal proceedings have been initiated, the Polish customs service reported.
