On January 12, 2024, Polish border guards intercepted a Ford vehicle driven by a German national, whose phone contained a location marked by photos of dark-skinned men. At the designated location near the Polish border, authorities found three Afghan nationals. The courier admitted to transporting the migrants through Lithuania and dropping them off near the Poland border for illegal crossing on foot. The plan was to regroup and move the migrants deeper into Western Europe. Notably, the Afghan nationals possessed permits issued by the Latvian Asylum Seekers' Accommodation Center. This incident reflects ongoing issues with illegal migration routes through the Baltic and Central European borders.
