Australian customs officers arrested and charged a 28-year-old American woman following locating an undeclared 24-karat gold-plated handgun in her luggage on April 23. The firearm was unregistered and the US citizen, who traveled from Los Angeles to Sydney, did not hold a permit to import or possess the firearm into Australia.
The passenger appeared in a local court, where she was released on bail. She faces up to 10 years in prison. She remains subject to visa cancellation and deportation from Australia, pending the outcome of legal proceedings. But customs, in their communiquéhave not explained why this woman possessed and traveled with a golden weapon.
