On October 29, border guards in Kostrzyn nad Odrą stopped a Seat driven by a 52-year-old Ukrainian. The vehicle showed signs of theft, including a damaged ignition and a broken rear window. During the inspection, German license plates and registration documents were found in the trunk, confirming the car was stolen in Germany days earlier.
