On Sunday, officers from the border police and the unit responsible for combating weapons, explosives and hazardous substances within the Vaslui International Investigation Corps carried out an inspection at the Albita border crossing of a vehicle driven by a 57-year-old man with dual Romanian and Moldovan citizenship, reports mediafax.ro.
During the inspection of the documents presented, it emerged that the vehicle was transporting several categories of goods from Romania to the Republic of Moldova, including hunting ammunition, which had been loaded from a warehouse located in Romania.
Due to suspicions regarding the legality of the consignment, the authorities carried out a thorough search of the vehicle, during which 135,000 hunting cartridges were discovered.
The consignment was not accompanied by a transit permit issued by the Romanian border police and did not comply with the security requirements laid down by law.
The entire consignment of ammunition was confiscated.
The authorities are investigating offences relating to non-compliance with regulations governing weapons and ammunition, as well as aggravated smuggling.
