Customs officials in China made an astonishing discovery: a man wanted to smuggle 14 snakes from Hong Kong to the mainland – the suspect had hidden the reptiles in his pants.
Customs officials in China found 14 live snakes in a man’s pockets in Futian port. The man seemed stressed and continued to avoid the eyes of the officers. When the suspect went through customs at the port, customs officials began to inspect the traveler. Officers were able to confiscate the hoses, which were wrapped in cotton socks. The animals have been handed over to the authorities.
