Mint employee accused of smuggling $180K of gold up rectum

From the world of bizarre:

An unusual Canadian news story is getting plenty of attention from international press, and the headlines pretty much sum up the story.

From Russia Today: “Laying the Golden Eggs.”

From CNN: “Canadian Mint employee may have smuggled gold where the sun don’t shine.”

And, as German broadcaster Deutsche Welle delicately put it: “Canadian Mint employee accused of stealing gold hidden up his bum.”

Indeed, Barrhaven, Ont. resident Leston Lawrence, 38, is a hot topic at water coolers this week as he stands trial for allegedly stealing $180,000 of gold pucks from the Royal Canadian Mint and trading them for cash at an Ottawa mall.

That's a lot of gold!

He's innovative but this surely won't go down as one of the greatest heists in history since he got caught and his method isn't very glamorous.

I feel bad for the jeweler, lol.

Haha, imo it was too funny not to share.

Would make a better Easter story though.

Yeah man . Its called getting caught with your pants down. peace.

It's smart to cheat, it's stupid to get caught...

The security must be really lax.
In the UK mint you get weighed in and out.
Any difference is noted and you're searched.

What kind of training did this dude put his sphincter thru to accomplish this feat!

Holy moly, that is about 10 pounds of gold!!!

Edit: Ahhh, I was thinking he did it all at once. Now it seems he did it several times?

the title, "Laying the Golden Eggs" LOL unreal... this guy cannot get a break, can he? lol

"Pinch and cut! It's time to haul your *** off to jail!"

That's one expensive crap! LoL

I imagine he will be rather popular in gaol where his method of smuggling contraband is almost an art form.

You mean Leston Lawrence, MO-Leston of gold... The AU butt plug...

Nice Keester plant Mo...

10lbs. of gold means He could fit a cell phone or 3 up 'there'...

"I love Your gold chains/Mr. T starter kit butt You smell like poop..."

The news had fun with that one. Booty up the booty....

I thought that gold depositories weighed their employee's upon arrival & at the end of their shift......Gold be quite heavy.

Question...what's gold going for per ounce these days?

Just wondering. Is he a gallon container or a pint.

In for a penny in for a pound?

Ok but what about the guy who ate a foot long meatball sub for lunch followed by a super big gulp?
Where is this place?

Someone's got to say it.

What a crappy thing to do.

That's over 100 ounces! Just how big is his arse?

I actually saw it on a documentary about Fort Knox & how they treated the employees. Pardon me for not remembering the title of the show.a reply to: Sillyolme

This story is stuffed full of 'puns'
