People are pretty crazy and will try countless ways to smuggle in drugs, money, and other illegal things in insanely strange ways. Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr 9. Door Drugs This imported door from next wasn’t only made of wood in case you were wondering. Australian customs in Sydney, Australia decided to inspect this mysterious door from Mexico a tad closer and sure enough, there was 5 kilos of cocaine inside the door! Australian police found out where this was this was going and charged the 32 year old Mexican national with attempted possession of a prohibited import. 8. Beetle Bust A man from Australia was busted when customs seized some cringeworthy contraband. Here in these photos you see dozens of the estimated 1300 tiger beetles placed in luggage that were seized by officials in Australia. They apparently tried to conceal them in empty yogurt containers but as you can tell this might have looked suspicious. The two behind the operation were detained at the Perth International Airport. Good thing customs did there job or the US might have some creepy crawlers from Australia like this or we might have creatures like this running around your house! 7. Frog in Your Pocket? Two men from Belgium forgot to mention to people at the airport that they were flying with about 500 exotic amphibians from Panama. These tiny frogs just barely bigger than your thumbnail are worth quite few euros if properly smuggled. They were packed in multiple film containers like you see in this photo.These little souvenirs would be able to be able to make it in legally. Each one of these guys are worth about 150 dollars each! 6. Snake Seizure Imagine working as airport security and while searching through some luggage, you find 95 of Boa constrictors slithering around in there! A businessman from Malaysia was trying to smuggle these snakes out of the country when he was caught. This brings some reality to Snakes on a plane. The man notorious for this is named Anson Wong and he’s gotten the pretty cool nickname of the Lizard King. He is almost like the Pablo Escobar of reptile smuggling. 5. Moving Weight Earl Simpson from Jamaica swallowed a crazy total of 148 pellets of cocaine, weighing nearly 3 pounds! This man was obviously not too worried about putting on a little extra weight because if he succeed, he’d be able to sell it for a street value of about 38 grand in Florida. Drug mules like Earl, usually swallow coke or heroin filled balloons, which can be eventually passed naturally if goes according to planned. If a few were to rupture, this could have been lethal. When he began acting nervous, customs had him xrayed and just like that, he’s facing some serious charges. 4. Secret Steroids About 150 bottles of liquid steroids were hidden inside sexual lubricant packaging labelled, “gay lube oil” and was seized by Australian customs. The Australians might have been wondering why this lube contained testosterone and deca durabolin. These were found mostly coming from the mail but these bottles were also found by people carrying them in luggage in 2008. 3. Cannabis Carrots In Texas, Mexican drug smugglers were trying to carry a freight full of marijuana disguised as carrots. They were shaped into long, skinny carrot looking packages in order for it to look like fresh produce, that’s legal. Drug smuggling organizations continue to show their creativity and try to outsmart the police. This attempt failed and police seized a total of 2,493 pounds of cargo making it worth about 490 thousand dollars.In this photo, you can tell from far away that they actually do look like carrots but now in the back of a police truck, these will not be served. 2. Saudi Beer Smuggle Now beer in Saudi Arabia is actually illegal but that doesn’t mean people don’t mind a good brew occasionally. So how would you imagine they smuggle it in? Punishment for alcohol consumption and smuggling in this country is severe.. Saudi authorities caught a man with 48.000 cans of beer and as you can see in this photo, they were trying to be passed off as Pepsi cans. 1.Meth Beer While some people try to hide the fact that their smuggling beer, other disguise their drugs as beer. The cartel disguised tour buses completely packed with money, drugs and liquid meth disguised as beer. They were eventually seized and Georgia State Patrol seized 36 million dollars worth of cash and drugs, within hidden compartments. You would probably not want to take a sip from this corona bottle that contained the liquid cargo.
