During the operation, a white "Niva Legend" vehicle was stopped and searched. Eight bags containing parts of the carcasses of one bear and three wild boars were found in the vehicle’s boot. The vehicle also contained three rifled hunting firearms, an MS-2112 smoothbore hunting shotgun, a loaded Monza rifled firearm with a magazine containing four 7.62 mm rounds, 43 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition, 56 small-shot cartridges, 13 individual rounds of ammunition, two binoculars, two firearm sound suppressors, knives, flashlights, an axe and other items.

The inspection established that the animals had been hunted illegally in Surkhandarya Region.

An official report was drawn up in connection with the incident. The hunting firearms, ammunition, permits and hunting licences were transferred to the Samarkand Regional Department of Internal Affairs for temporary safekeeping. The vehicle was impounded.

The necessary documentation is currently being prepared to provide a legal assessment of the incident and take the measures prescribed by law against those responsible.
