Chinese Man Caught with Hidden Rocks at Zimbabwe Airport.
A man named Cao from China landed in big trouble at Zimbabwe's airport. The police caught him trying to sneak special rocks out of the country in his suitcase. These weren't just any rocks - they were valuable minerals containing calcium and magnesium.
Cao came to Zimbabwe to do business and stayed with his friend Edgar in the city of Harare. He packed three bags of mineral samples in his suitcase and tried to leave on a plane to China. The airport workers noticed something strange when they scanned his bags. They called the police right away to check what he was carrying.
When the police looked through his things, they found the mineral samples hidden between his clothes. Cao couldn't show any papers proving he was allowed to take these rocks out of Zimbabwe. The police sent the rocks to scientists at the University of Zimbabwe, who tested them and found out what they were made of.
The judge made Cao pay one hundred dollars to stay out of jail. The judge also took away his passport and told him he must stay at his Zimbabwe address. Taking minerals out of Zimbabwe without permission breaks the law, and that's why Cao had to go to court.
