The incident occurred at the Medininkai (Kamenny Log on the Belarusian side) checkpoint. On the morning of February 15, a 31-year-old Belarusian was removed from a bus traveling from Minsk to Kaunas. During the check, it was found that about a month ago, Danish police had issued an international warrant for him via Interpol.
Less than an hour after the detention, the man was handed over to police officers who arrived from Vilnius. He was taken to the capital's detention center.
According to the Lithuanian service, in the first seven weeks of 2026, border guards detained 73 people who were wanted by law enforcement agencies of Lithuania and other countries for various crimes or offenses. Among them, the majority were citizens of Lithuania (58 people). Also detained were citizens of Russia (6), Latvia (3), Belarus (2), as well as Ireland, Great Britain, Moldova, and Ukraine — one person each.
In 2025, Lithuanian border guards detained 11 wanted Belarusians, and in 2024 — 6.
