Employees of the anti-smuggling department, together with the operational structures of the regional customs department, inspected a Cobalt car that stopped near a residential building in the Fergana region. Previously, the man driving the car was under surveillance.

270 Tecno Spark smartphones of two models (Tecno Spark Go and Tecno Spark 20) with a total value of 367 million soums (about $29,000 at the current Central Bank exchange rate) were found in the car and in the house, which did not have documents confirming customs clearance.

On this fact, the customs authorities began a pre-investigation check.
