DETROIT -- Two Canadian women were caught trying to sneak nearly $73,000 into the U.S. by hiding the bulk of the loot —$59,000 — in their bras, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday in Detroit federal court.

The women, who were mother and daughter, were detained at the Detroit-Windsor tunnel on Sunday while en route to Detroit Metro Airport, where they had planned to catch a flight for Lebanon to visit family, the complaint said.

Red flags went up at the border when the mother, Moura El-Asmar, 51, told a customs and border officer that she was carrying $3,300 in Canadian currency. When questioned about U.S. reporting laws, she "stated once again" that she only had $3,300.

Turned out, she had a lot more tucked in her bra, the complaint said.

7. Now I understand the term

"cop a feel".

Then came the pat down.

"A bulky mass was discovered on the bra," the complaint stated.

I don't think it takes Sherlock Holmes to discover a bulky mass in a bra.
