Cell phone smuggler pretends false labour pains

A young Egytpian woman began to complain of labour pains after arriving at Cairo airport from one of the Middle Eastern countries, hoping to speed her way through customs, reports The Khaleej Times.

"A customs officer checked her passport and was surprised by the number of stamps it held, showing too much recent travel for a woman ”in her condition,” the source said. So he asked a female colleague to frisk her.

The search exposed what was really under the woman’s clothing -- 48 mobile phones worth more than 17,000 dollars. The “mother” was arrested."
