In mid March customs officers found heroine hidden in a semi-trailer loaded with natural stone. The value of the heroine which the smugglers tried to bring into Poland is record high.

The black market value of the drug is estimated to be 20 million zlotys (ca. 5 million euro). The drug was found at the road crossing in Dorohusk (Polish-Ukrainian border) when a lorry with foreign registration plates was trying to enter Poland. During the customs control it turned out that there was a hidden storage space in the wall of the semi-trailer. 40 foil bags with heroine were found there (95.6 kilograms of this drug in total). The lorry was carrying granite blocks, which, according to the order, were supposed to reach one of the companies near Warsaw. The lorry driver was charged with smuggling offences. During the hearing he did not admit his guilt.
