VSAT Pagėgiai Border Regiment officers conducted a stop on Friday on the main road connecting Riga, Pasvalys, and Panevėžys, near the village of Škilinpamūšio in the Pasvalys district. The vehicle, a four-wheel drive car bearing Latvian license plates, was operated by a 68-year-old Latvian citizen. During the routine inspection, the border police officers were presented with documentation identifying the driver.
The documents included a valid Latvian citizen’s identity card alongside a Lithuanian driver’s license, which reportedly remained valid until April 2035. The presence and details of this specific driver’s license raised immediate concerns regarding its authenticity among the attending officers. Upon initial examination, the VSAT officers launched an investigation into the credentials.
This investigation revealed that the driver’s license in question had not been produced in accordance with established security production requirements, leading authorities to conclude that the document was a complete forgery. The Latvian citizen maintained that the license had been issued by a legitimate authority valid through April 2035. The incident highlights the diligence of the border officers in verifying travel credentials.
The discovery of the fraudulent document represents a notable action by the border police, underscoring the ongoing effort to secure border crossings against illegal documentation. The officers’ careful review successfully identified the discrepancy, preventing potential issues related to the forged paperwork.
