Passenger caught with fish in trouser pockets
A Vietnamese air passenger is facing prosecution by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) after trying to smuggle live tropical fish into New Zealand in his trouser pockets.
New Zealand Customs officials noticed the man had bulging pockets in his cargo
pants with water dripping through the fabric when he arrived at Auckland
airport this week from Australia, writes New Zealand Yahoo News.
The passenger said he was carrying water from the plane because he was thirsty.
When asked to show what was in his pockets, the passenger revealed two plastic
bags containing water and seven live fish.
The man said he was bringing the fish into New Zealand for a friend.
After a full search, New Zealand Customs referred the passenger to MPI biosecurity officials. The fish have been identified as cichlids, although the exact species is unknown at this stage.
