Customs officials in the Lubelskie voivodship town of Terespol stopped a Russian woman

who allegedly wanted to smuggle 2,000 packs of cigarettes into Poland packed in colorful cotton yarn. Officials inspecting passengers on a train from Moscow to Hamburg became suspicious of the huge, yarn-filled bags carried by the 72-year-old woman. She tried to explain that she was visiting her son and would knit in her free time, but the officials found zł.12,000-worth of cigarettes under the yarn.
