A man who worked on the Canadian mint was sentenced to imprisonment.
For a long time he smuggled gold coins from work - in his rectum. The police found Vaseline and latex gloves in his cabinets.
Leston Lawrence, 35, was guilty of a massive robbery during her employment at the Canadian mint in Ottawa. Now he is convicted of smuggling 22 gold coins worth over one million crowns in his rectum. It reports the Canadian Toronto Star.
It was a bank that alarmed when the 35-year-old tried to switch check he received when he sold large amounts of gold. Then the police watched him and his workplace, finding the petrol and latex gloves that "could have been used to facilitate the insertion of gold items in his rectum", according to the prosecutor.
That way, Lawrence managed to get through the metal detectors of the mining mill.
When the team's long arm came to him, he put on an environmental damage. The heaviest gold coin he had smuggled out weighed 264 grams.
Lawrence's task was to ensure that the gold was clean enough and therefore he had access to melting pot - so he could get the gold in the appropriate format. After the coup he had every reason to wash it, which he tried to do by selling the coin to a mortgage bank.
In total, the gold was worth about $ 130,000 - which 35-year-old spent on, among other things, a boat in Florida and a house in Jamaica.
Leston Lawrence was sentenced to 30 months in prison and will also be required to pay back. And the court has put him in a troubled situation: If he does not pay back within three years after the prison sentence has been served, he may be granted another 30 months.
The 35-year-old handles all media resignation well, says his representative Gary Barnes to the CBC:
