On Wednesday morning, law enforcement operations commenced in the Ukmergė district following intelligence received from the VSAT Vilnius Border Patrol. Officers from the Criminal Intelligence Department of the Ukmergė district police station intercepted a vehicle registered in Poland near Kurėnų village, prompting the driver to exit the car and flee the scene. Upon inspection of the vehicle, authorities discovered fifteen men who were undocumented, lacking identification or citizenship papers.
These individuals reported origins from two nations: three claimed to be from Afghanistan, and the remaining twelve claimed to be from Pakistan. Separately, border guards operating in the Lazdijai district reported another incident where migrants attempted to breach the border by digging an underground tunnel into Lithuania, an effort that was ultimately thwarted. Subsequently, information regarding the escaped driver was relayed to another police team.
This team quickly located and stopped a different car, this one bearing Lithuanian registration plates, near Rečionių village on the Ukmergė road. The second vehicle was being operated by a citizen of Georgia. These coordinated actions highlighted ongoing border security efforts across multiple districts.
The initial apprehension of the Polish-registered vehicle, after which the driver fled, set the stage for a series of related police movements throughout the morning, demonstrating the continuous vigilance of law enforcement in the region.
