Cambodian woman, 72, arrested over smuggled antique bracelets

By The Nation

 

A Cambodia woman was arrested at the Klong Luek border checkpoint in Sa Kaew's Aranyaprathet district on Saturday for allegedly attempting to smuggle antique bracelets into Thailand.

 

Hiang Kim, 72, was arrested after the custom officials noticed that her body seemed to swell at the middle. After a search, they found numerous bracelets which were attached to her arms and wrapped around her chest.

 

She claimed she was hired by a Cambodian to carry the bracelets into Thailand.

 

She was taken to the Aranyaprathet police station for questioning.

Probably for weighing the bracelets too, once the police had 'disarmed' her of them. The more important detail for the police would be how much they were likely to gain from it.

I can see myself getting pulled aside if they check people that swell in the middle 

Sounds like a land-locked version of sea-sickness.
