The Russian authorities are looking for two men who escaped a customs search at the Vaalimaa-Torfjanovka border crossing point, reported the local media outlet MTV news.

According to the Russian news outlet 47News, the men had been going through the passport control at the check point. The men then fled the checkpoint in their minibus when they were told that their car was to be X-rayed.

According to the Russian media, the men are Russians; however, one of them has Finnish citizenship.

The minibus was found later abandoned in Torfjanovka.
