A driver from Germany, a former citizen of Ukraine, tried to transport an AK-47 assault rifle across the international vehicle checkpoint "Yahodyn"... The man was traveling on an international scheduled bus to Germany. According to Svitlana Fedoniuk, senior inspector for public relations and mass media of the Yahodyn Customs, customs officers came across the undeclared "Kalash" wrapped in black polyethylene while checking a suitcase with the passenger's personal belongings. When the customs inspector asked whether the man had any weapons, he said he was only transporting a dummy of an AK-47 assault rifle. The weapon, which was missing several parts, was seized by customs officers, who drew up a report on violation of customs rules and sent it for examination. The certificate issued by the expert, as Ms. Fedoniuk reports, surprised everyone considerably. It stated that the seized weapon is, quote, "a large-sized mock-up of an AKM-74, caliber 5.45," end of quote. However, in the documents on the purchase of the weapon submitted by the owner of the dangerous "toy" and on the assault rifle, customs officers found a discrepancy in the serial numbers. An additional check is currently underway.
