From: Yahoo! News - Lithuania Unearths Liquor Pipeline from Belarus

Lithuanian border guards have unearthed a three-kilometer (2-mile) pipeline for smuggling in moonshine liquor from neighboring Belarus, the guards said on Friday.


The thin plastic pipeline, buried a few centimeters underground, ran under several roads, along a riverbed and ended next to the home of a Lithuanian citizen.

There was no news of any arrests.

It was the fourth such pipeline discovered in the last two years but by far the longest.
