Аn amateur criminal attempted to smuggle around $5470 worth of gold through airport customs disguised as fake teeth.

The man, who was identified as a citizen of Uzbekistan, had just arrived by plane from Dubai in Delhi, India, when airport security reportedly caught him trying to sneak in 95 grams of gold inserted into a massive set of dentures.

Customs personnel became suspicious of two men who tried to go through the “nothing to declare” exit as they were about to leave the airport.

Well done @delhicustoms for being vigilant. https://t.co/neHULbdbYA

Not so fast

As the men were called over for a checkup, the agents noticed that one of them had a golden smile, which turned out to be a mouth stuffed with gold.

What made things even more interesting is that the smuggler also had a whole gold chain stuffed in his mouth…
