According to glavcom.ua: At the section of the 'Krasyliv' department, near the border, employees of the Chernivtsi border detachment discovered four individuals. This was reported by 'Hlavkom' referring to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

Two boys born in 2009 and 2010, acting as guides, were leading two men, residents of Vinnytsia and Ivano-Frankivsk regions, to the border. It turned out that they paid 5 thousand euros for illegal crossing into the neighboring country.

Later, on the outskirts of one of the settlements, border guards noticed a car carrying two local boys born in 2008 and 2009. They were delivering the violators to the border and were supposed to pick up the guides after the 'operation' was completed.

The boys admitted that they were promised $2 thousand for their services.

The minors were handed over to their parents. Materials were drawn up regarding the other violators under articles 204-1 and 185-10 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses.

Currently, law enforcement agencies are identifying the main organizer of the illegal scheme.

Previous cases of border violations

We remind you that at the 'Mohyliv-Podilskyi' automobile checkpoint, border guards detected an attempt to illegally exit the country under the guise of marriage. During the conversation, it turned out that they were completely unaware of basic family-related matters.

'Hlavkom' also reported how border guards of the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi detachment uncovered an unusual violator on the 'Odesa-Reni' highway. During the inspection of documents of the passengers of a bus, the soldiers noticed a person dressed in a 'total-black' style: black wig, sunglasses, and satin dress.

The Chernivtsi border guards uncovered minor guides who were smuggling people into Romania. These guides, boys born in 2009 and 2010, received a reward for 'illegal crossing' into the neighboring country. Currently, law enforcement agencies are identifying the main organizer of this activity. We also emphasize other cases of border violations that were uncovered earlier.
