A MAN was caught by Shatoujiao Customs for allegedly smuggling 10,381 SD cards on Zhongying Street in Yantian District.

On Aug. 18, the man, carrying some cooking oil in his bag, was in a rush to get through the border check.

An investigation showed the man had tied three bags around each of his legs and hid three other parcels in his underwear.

Fund missing

A WOMAN surnamed Liang recently found that more than 10,000 yuan (US$1,493) had been stolen from her bank card despite having carried the card with her.
