A woman from Hong Kong escaped two stolen petty crests across Taiwan's largest airport by placing them under her clothes and pretending to be pregnant, local media reported.
Authorities at the Taiwan airport opened an investigation to find out how the woman managed to escape security without monitoring the two cats, the Apple Daily reported.
The Taiwanese newspaper said the police got a video clip from the airport showing the woman with a white bag coming out of a public toilet. The abdomen was fuller than before she passed through security.
The nanny, Zhang Chen, said she had been alerted to the theft of two small cats, Angie and Da Lili, on February 5, and explained in her apartment in the suburb of New Taipei, where she raised 40 Persian cats, each of which could cost up to $ 3,000. ... then I noticed the absence of the two cats. "
Zhang immediately suspected a Hong Kong woman who came to her a month ago and wanted to buy Angie, but the nanny changed her mind by selling because the woman owned many of these animals.
"She was crying and screaming on the phone when I told her about it," she said.
Surveillance cameras outside Zhang's apartment showed the woman carrying a cat with each hand before putting them in a white bag.
Zhang faced the saga by applying Facebook, which she admitted to stealing.
Cats arriving in Hong Kong without legal papers must remain at least four months in quarantine or face the fate of murder. Taiwan only accepts cats from Hong Kong with health certificates proving to be free of infectious diseases.
