An attempt of smuggling into Ukraine of Japanese-made motor vehicles was prevented by border guards and customs officers in Lviv oblast. Two disassembled motorcycles and a scooter was hidden from control by a 45-years-old resident of Ivano-Frankivsk oblast who was coming back in his Mercedes minibus from Poland via Smilnytsya border checkpoint. During customs and border control, the man informed that he was delivering 2.6 tons of second-hand clothes as well as two bicycles with motors. The bicycles turned out to be Suzuki and Honda motorcycles evaluated at almost UAH 46.5 thousand and over 36.8 thousand respectively, as well as Yamaha scooter evaluated at UAH 25,000. To avoid drawing unnecessary attention, the disassembled vehicles were hidden under the bags with second-hand clothes. The motorcycles and scooter were withdrawn and sent to the customs office. The minibus in which the vehicles were delivered was also confiscated and evaluated by experts at almost UAH 71,000.
