Blog 46_Stolen gold stuffed in a chicken in South Africa


What better way to get away from security than to put your stolen gold in a stuffed chicken? No, it is not a joke.

A South African jewellery firm confirmed that one of its staff actually tried to use this trick to get away from the metal detectors at Browns Jewellers offices in Johannesburg, said BBC.

The thief was caught in the firm's office in Dunkeld, on Monday, with the "golden" chicken. He has been charged with attempted theft and the possession of suspected stolen goods.

It was also reported that recently, the firm had tightened security and banned females workers from wearing underwire bras because they confuse the metal detectors.
