VIDEO: Gugark Police Uncover Illegal Logging Incidents

The police are paying special attention to environmental issues, continuing their consistent fight against illegal logging. The latest incident was uncovered by the Gugark division of the police.

On May 21, at around 5:30 AM, officers from the division inspected a "Ford Transit" vehicle belonging to a 34-year-old resident of the village of Yeghenut, which was loaded with about 4 cubic meters of timber.

The driver failed to present any documentation verifying the legality of the firewood, claiming he acquired it in November of the previous year from a nearby forest in Yeghenut.
