They were found improperly carrying these weapons and military supplies in the vehicle driven by Harout Mirumyan with license plate number 35 VV 541, taking an alternative route via the Khaznavar-Verishen-Goris road instead of the Artsakh Republic's Agavno checkpoint towards Tegh and Goris.

The three mentioned individuals have been arrested.

It should be noted that this is one of the criminal cases initiated during the war, for which the investigative body has declared the completion of the preliminary investigation and sent the case to court.
