A plane travellers who probably thought they were being a bit savvy ended up with a big bill after taking a McDonald's breakfast onto a plane. They came a cropper when they tried to enter their home country with the contraband.
The package of two egg and sausage McMuffins, hot cakes and a ham croissant was flagged up as the traveller entered Darwin Airport in Australia. According to local media, Zinta, a new 'detector dog', caught the would-be breakfast smugglers last week.
It ended up costing $2,664 (£1,531) after an infringement notice was issued and the food was seized. The meat products would be tested for foot and mouth disease (FMD) before they were destroyed, reports the Mirror.
