Illegal arrivals netted at Melbourne Airport - Tuesday, 7th June 2005
Customs officers at Melbourne International Airport have discovered 51 live tropical fish allegedly concealed beneath the skirt of a female passenger.
On Friday, Customs officers selected a 43-year-old woman from Rosanna in Victoria for a baggage examination after she arrived on a flight from Singapore.
During the search, Customs officers became suspicious after hearing 'flipping' noises coming from the vicinity of her waist. An examination revealed 15 plastic water-filled bags holding fish allegedly concealed inside a purpose-built apron.
The fish, which have yet to be identified, could have posed potentially serious quarantine, environmental and health risks had they not been seized by Customs.
Yesterday, a search warrant was executed on a house at Rosanna where another five fish were seized.
This is the second seizure of live fish at Melbourne Airport in recent months. In March, Customs officers stopped an alleged attempt to smuggle rare Asian Arowana fish by an airline crewmember.
"Wildlife trafficking is a cruel practice, as many of the offenders ignore the health and well-being of the animals by packing them tightly in small areas for long periods of time," said Acting Regional Director Jaclyne Fisher.
Under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, the maximum penalty for smuggling wildlife is a fine of up to $110,000 and/or imprisonment for up to 10 years.
"Customs encourages anyone who has information about the illegal importation of exportation of wildlife to contact the Customs Hotline on 1800 06 1800," said Ms Fisher.
