Herring with eggs are arrested on the border.

In January, 4 a freight train "Kaliningrad-Ekaterinburg" was carrying from Lithuania 6 tons of herring. But Smorgon border guards on customs "Gudogai-2" unloaded the wagon, because the fish turned to be contraband and ownerless. It was estimated in 1 milliard 700 million of rubles.

Five days later on "New Guta" customs Gomel border guards inspected a simple "Moskvitch". They saw a trunk full of eggs - 4 thousand 300! Two Ukrainians - owners of the car - also wanted to take from Belarus 35 liters of petrol.

In 10th of January Brest border guards inspected a "Volvo" of a belorussian citizen. They found in a hiding place 70 liters of alcohol that cost 28 million of rubles. The car will possibly be confiscated. The facts are given by press-center of the State Committee of border guards.
