Travelers caught with gold hidden under toupees, in their socks - Fox News
Smugglers were caught with nearly $400,000 in gold hidden over multiple areas of their bodies while traveling in India.
Authorities reportedly noticed that the two men had highly unusual hairstyles as they approached an exit to Chennai International Airport in India on March 21. When security officials searched the suspects, they discovered the two men were wearing wigs.
Underneath the wigs were gold paste packets weighing 1.5 pounds, Southwest News Service reports. The packets had apparently been glued to the suspects’ heads who then attempted to hide them under toupees.
