The border guards of Lutsk Border Detachment prevented two migrants from Turkey to cross illegally the state border on Poland through the river Zahidnyi Buh. One of details of department “Hrabove” detected the trespassers and started to follow them. Simultaneously neighbouring sub-divisions and Polish colleagues informed about uninvited guests. The foreigners were attempting to run away. One of them was caught by the border guard at once. The other man was apprehended in 20 minutes with the help of the dog. The detainees were delivered to Border Sub-division. They had documents of citizens of Turkey, a map of automobile roads of Volyn region and a bottle of brandy.
