In two trucks with trailers, the perpetrators tried to take more than 45.5 tons of scrap, which contains non-ferrous and precious metals, out of the country.

Since such export is prohibited by law, the cargo was registered as brass slag. In fact, the trucks contained whole and crushed chips containing platinum, gold, and non-ferrous metals. The recipient is a German company.
