A Lithuanian citizen was detained at the Kamenny Loh border crossing. According to the State Customs Committee, the 35-year-old man was traveling on a Kaunas-Minsk bus.

When crossing the border, he chose the green channel. However, during the inspection, a sniffer dog alerted officers to him. A packet of sweets containing two polymer-wrapped packages was found in the man’s shoulder bag. An examination showed that they contained cocaine.

A criminal case has been opened under Part 2 of Article 328-1 of the Criminal Code.
