Polish customs seize illegal R134a cylinders

POLAND: Polish authorities have discovered an attempt to smuggle four 13.6kg cylinders of R134a in a vehicle stopped in Zosin on the border with Ukraine.

The driver of the vehicle, a Lithuanian citizen, was accused of trying to illegally import gas into Poland – without reporting it to customs and without the appropriate documents.

The report from the Tax Administration Chamber in Lublin failed to mention that, judging by the images of the seizure supplied, the gas was also in illegal non-refillable cylinders.
