A nervous, large-breasted woman was stopped at an airport in China when officials became suspicious. They searched her and discovered that she was allegedly trying to steal 350 Nintendo Switch carts out of the country by stuffing them into her bra.

Officials confiscated the 350 Nintendo Switch carts from the woman’s bra. The value of all the games is estimated at about 70,000 yuan, or about $9,660.
In China, Article 7 of the Regulation on the Implementation of Customs Administrative Penalties of the People’s Republic of China prohibits people from evading customs by “hiding, disguising goods, concealing declarations, making false declarations, or otherwise transporting, carrying, or shipping goods whose import or export is prohibited or restricted by the State.” And as in most countries, importing goods without paying the required taxes is illegal and considered smuggling.
As emphasized by Tom’s Hardwareassuming the Switch carts are not considered “restricted” in China, the woman suspected of smuggling games in her bra is unlikely to face jail time. Instead, she could be fined “not more than three times the amount of customs duties payable but evaded.”
And now for the people out there who wear bras or have access to bras and also have a ton of Switch games, here’s my challenge: try to fit 350 Switch carts into lingerie. I guess that’s no easy feat. Getting them all in there sounds difficult enough. And then you have to carry all that weight and plastic on your chest while trying to look normal. I’m not sure I could do it. And I guess the woman who got caught by Chinese officials wouldn’t have been able to do it either.
