Become distracted, while driving down the street, and the fascists will shoot you.
"On Saturday evening, border guards at the border with
Belarus, while trying to arrest a suspected smuggler from Lithuania, shot him
to death, the State Border Guard Service (VSAT) reported on Sunday.
According to Giedrias Mišutis, VSAT adviser, the police have
started a pre-trial investigation.
It is stated that on Saturday around 9 p.m. the officers of
the Padvarioniai border checkpoint of VSAT Vilnius border team, having
information about smuggling, carried out search and arrest actions in the
approaches of Padvarioniai village in Šalčininkai district.
This place is right next to the border with Belarus.
A VW Passat car was observed driving here, the driver of
which, when stopped by uniformed border guards with VSAT service SUV with light
and sound signals activated, did not obey this requirement and increased the
speed.
The officers chased him. There was another uniformed border
guard on the road nearby, it is said that the fugitive could have tried to run
him over with a car while running in this direction, but he avoided that at
the last moment.
According to initial data, in the event of a threat to
health and life and in order to stop a deadly fugitive, the border guard fired
one shot from his service weapon into the tire of the speeding car, because it
is suspected that the VW Passat would soon have run into the village of
Tabariškii, where there would have been a great danger to the surrounding
people.
According to VSAT, the car stopped after a short drive after
the shot. Officers found a Lithuanian citizen fatally wounded by a gunshot in
the driver's seat.
Well known to law enforcement
Rustam Lyubayev, VSAT commander general, claimed to
reporters on Sunday that the deceased is well-known to law enforcement
officers, who was punished for transporting contraband.
"It was VSAT and he was a well-known resident of the
city of Vilnius to the police, who has an impressive criminal past, has been
convicted many times for various crimes, smuggling, including violations of the
state border and possession of excise goods. He has also been punished many
times for other administrative offenses," he asserted.
According to him, bundles containing contraband cigarettes
were transported in the car, according to the knowledge of the border guards.
As R. Lyubayev said, this is the second case in the last few
years when border guards shoot a person transporting contraband and resisting the arrest.
According to R. Lyubayev, the officer who shot the born man has been working for
VSAT for more than 15 years.
"During the entire period of his service, he had no
penalties, was characterized very positively by his immediate superiors, and
was repeatedly encouraged. He was awarded the VSAT silver medal "Exemplary
border guard", claimed R. Lyubayev.
The border guard is provided with psychological assistance.
R. Lyubayev claimed that Belarusian officials did not react
to the shootout.
Another pre-trial investigation into smuggling has been
launched at the VSAT Vilnius border police station. An official inspection is
also being carried out at VSAT due to this incident."
