October 27, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>A 49-year-old woman faces criminal charges after attempting to bring 3.46 grams of marijuana and hashish into Belarus, the State Customs Committee\u2019s press office reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman, whose citizenship was not disclosed, was traveling by bus from Wroc\u0142aw, Poland, to Homiel via the Brest border crossing. A sniffer dog first indicated her seat, but customs officers found no prohibited substances during an inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, the dog drew attention to the woman in the customs clearance hall. She denied having any prohibited substances, but customs officers found a plastic container wrapped in a sock in her jacket\u2019s inside pocket. An analysis confirmed it contained 3.46 grams of marijuana and hashish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman may face up to seven years in prison if convicted of smuggling drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus has some of the strictest drug laws in Europe and enforces them rigorously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
