Over the past two weeks, Belarusian border guards have uncovered two attempts to smuggle drugs into the country, the State Border Committee reported.
In the first case, a Belarusian citizen was detained at the Belarus–Poland border with hashish. The man was traveling from Poland to Belarus on a Poznan–Minsk bus on March 2. At the border, a service dog detected drugs in his belongings.
In his luggage, the man was carrying metal cans labeled as canned fruit, inside which hashish was found. The cans appeared indistinguishable from factory-sealed ones. In total, nearly 260 grams of hashish were seized.
Criminal cases have been opened against the man, who had previously been convicted of hooliganism, under Part 2 of Article 328-1 and Part 3 of Article 328 of the Criminal Code for illegal cross-border movement and illegal trafficking of narcotic substances. The maximum penalty предусматривает up to 15 years of imprisonment.
In the second case, on March 15, a resident of Vitsyebsk was traveling on a Warsaw–Vitsyebsk bus. Marijuana was found on him at the border. The man was placed in a temporary detention facility of the Brest border group. Procedural actions are ongoing.
