"The police worked on the spot, the car and timber products were seized, the investigation is ongoing," the foresters said.
It is noted that a similar situation recently occurred in the Toboliv Forestry of the "Kamin-Kashir Forestry" branch. A protocol was drawn up on the fact.
The message added that another fact of violation was established in July by the operatives of the operational response group in the Borovna Forestry of the Kamin-Kashirsk branch.
It is noted that cases where the amount of damage is significant and exceeds 26 thousand hryvnias are handed over to the police. According to all other facts, forest violators pay fines and damages, the funds from which go to the budgets of communities.
