To their shock, they found extra 12 bars of gold hided right inside the man’s ‘behind’. In total, the officers discovered 2 kilograms of gold, estimated to be worth 70,000 pound in Dubai and Singapore. The suspected smuggler allegedly inserted the goodies ‘inside there’ before he boarded the plane.

One of the custom agents: “A smuggler of this calibre has to be an expert in his job. No ordinary person can move with ease when 12 bars of gold are inserted in the rear, He probably did that in attempts to avoid being arrested, but clearly this was not his lucky day.”
The smuggler was reportedly handed over to the relevant authorities for appropriate action to be taken. The custom agents warned the public to always stay alert when travelling.
