Three men were caught by Macau customs trying to smuggle over 228 phones by strapping the phones onto their bodies and hiding the phones in their luggage. Their smuggling attempt was revealed by Macau customs officers on Thursday night as the three men aged 47 to 55 traveled to the casino city on the HZM “Golden” coach bus. After investigation by Macau customs, the men admitted they were paid to smuggle the phones across the border. Macau customs have initiated prosecution against the three in accordance with Macau law and confiscated the phones they were trying to smuggle. Macau customs said they will strengthen their work on collecting intelligence and step up their efforts in searching people in order to combat illegal trafficking activities.
