Phone smuggling

LUOHU Customs recently caught a middle-aged Hong Kong woman attempting to smuggle 50 reconditioned iPhones to Hong Kong in a baby stroller.

The woman was walking with a 10-year-old child when she was intercepted by officers at Luohu Checkpoint. An X-ray scan of the backpack hanging on the baby stroller showed it contained tightly packed products, which were later confirmed to be mobile phones. The woman claimed the phones were reconditioned in Huaqiangbei and would be sold in Hong Kong, but she couldn’t provide any receipts. The case is under investigation.
