Man is caught smuggling 100 live SNAKES in his trousers

A man has been caught trying to smuggle more than 100 live snakes through an airport into mainland China.

The passenger, who hasn’t been named by authorities, wasn’t happy to see airport security when they stopped him trying to leave Hong Kong and enter the border city of Shenzhen on Tuesday.

He was trying to walk through the ‘nothing to declare’ gate when he was stopped.

China Customs say they found several bags hidden in the pockets of his trousers, sealed with tape, containing 104 snakes.

The snakes were a variety of species, including milk snakes and corn snakes, and many of them were non-native.

A statement from China customs said:

‘Upon inspection, customs officers discovered that the pockets of the trousers the passenger was wearing were packed with six canvas drawstring bags and sealed with tape. Once opened, each bag was found to contain living snakes in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and colours.’
