A Romanian small truck and semi-trailer was removed from traffic during priority checks in Lower Austria due to imminent danger. The driver had cigarettes and young animals in his luggage.
During priority checks, employees stopped a Romanian motor vehicle train consisting of a small truck and a light trailer. The police discovered technical defects that were immediately dangerous. Further travel was eventually banned. The employees also discovered 43 packs of cigarettes in the engine compartment.
That wasn’t all. Three young cats and a puppy were also hidden among the luggage. The animals are said to come from Ukraine. According to a police statement, the documents brought along and the required vaccinations did not meet the requirements.
