The incident occurred on May 31st at a border crossing near the municipality of Thayngen, where a car and a van traveling towards Switzerland were stopped. During an inspection, customs officers discovered 55 suitcases.
All suitcases were subjected to X-ray screening, and no irregularities were found as a result. Inside were the traveler’s personal belongings, which are permitted for import into the country.
