Serial chicken smuggler caught with 1,100 pounds of chicken at Norway border

KONGSVINGER, Norway, Aug. 19 (UPI) -- A Swedish man was stopped at the Norwegian border with about 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds) of raw, frozen chicken.

This is the ninth time the chicken smuggler has tried to take the poultry across the border in his Volvo. The Norwegian customs officers were less than shocked.

"He can count on getting a fine and we've confiscated the goods," Gro Lene Gundelsby, the Norwegian head of customs, told Dagens Nyheter newspaper Monday.

It is only legal to transport 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of poultry across the border. The unnamed smuggler tried to transport 50 times that amount.
