Underwear SD cards

A WOMAN was caught by Shatoujiao Customs for allegedly smuggling a total of 9,518 SD cards hidden in her pants and bra recently.

The woman looked suspicious as she attempted to avoid being seen by customs officers and was in a rush to leave after handing over her umbrella and handbag for inspection. The detector indicated that the woman had hidden something in her bra and pants. Customs officers found two parcels of SD cards under her bra and another six parcels tied under her pants.

The case has been handed to the anti-smuggling department.
