A Saudi man boasts that he succeeded in conning border authorities by smuggling a liquor bottle wrapped around a fake leg bandage through the 25km causeway linking the Gulf Kingdom with neighboring Bahrain.

A brief YouTube film published in ‘Sabq’ daily shows the man unwrapping the bottle that was hidden inside medical gauze wrapped around his leg.

The paper said viewers of the film, which did not show the man’s face, called on authorities to hunt him down and punish him for smuggling alcohol into the Kingdom, where liquor is strictly banned.
