WARSAW, Poland, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Polish police found a 38-year-old Armenian man trying to illegally enter the country by hiding in a woman's luggage.

Police said the man was inside a suitcase on a Kiev-to-Berlin passenger train, Polish radio said Monday.

The luggage belonged to a 50-year-old Ukrainian woman.

The man, who was arrested, had forged documents including a card with a false name, police said.

In another border incident, a Ukrainian man was arrested Sunday when he tried to to smuggle 65 parrots into Poland, also in luggage, a radio report said.

The parrots were of a protected species and the man did not have the documents required to transport them. The birds were sent to a zoo in Warsaw.
