Authorities detained a truck carrying 54 foreigners on Friday after an attempt to illegally cross the Polish border was thwarted. The operation involved officers from the Polish Border Guard Service, who collaborated with personnel from the customs and tax service in the Palenkė border area. The situation came to light after a 37-year-old Romanian citizen arrived at the temporary checkpoint in Budzisko, driving a truck bearing Romanian registration plates.
During standard procedures, Polish border officials discovered a tunnel that migrants were attempting to use to enter the country from Belarus. Upon inspection, the joint task force found the 54 individuals confined within the truck’s car trailer. Among the detained group were citizens from various nations, including 30 Pakistanis.
The combined effort of the border guard service and customs officials successfully intercepted the group attempting irregular passage. The incident highlights ongoing security efforts along the frontier. The coordinated action between different governmental services underscores the vigilance maintained at the border crossings.
The detention of the vehicle and its occupants marks the end of the illegal journey. Authorities continue to monitor the area to prevent further unauthorized crossings.
