In the Vitebsk region, there has been an increase in cases of illegal sale of pyrotechnic products, the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee's Internal Affairs Department's Information and Public Relations Department informed BELTA.
Over the past three days alone, two large batches of fireworks have been seized in the region. Thus, on December 14, employees of the Miory District Department of Internal Affairs discovered the sale of pyrotechnic products without quality certificates in a shopping center located in Miory. About 10,000 units of these products worth Br23.5 million were seized. An investigation is underway.
A large batch was also discovered the previous day during a raid by law enforcement officers and the tax inspectorate in a retail pavilion of a private retail enterprise in Braslav, where 6.2 thousand units of pyrotechnics worth over Br30 million were on sale. An administrative protocol was drawn up in this regard under Art. 23.48 Part 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Belarus.
Close monitoring of the circulation of pyrotechnic products will be carried out in the region until New Year's, and will also cover the first half of January, the Internal Affairs Department noted.
