Baby not quite on board: Security officers were horrified by tot smuggle attempt Child put at risk: Couple have been charged with endangering their baby’s life Drama: Sharjah airport where bag baby was discovered
This was the shocking sight that greeted airport scanner staff when a couple tried to smuggle their baby through an airport stuffed inside a holdall. The pair put the newborn’s life at risk by allowing him to be exposed to radiation in the X-ray machine because the boy did not have a visa. Security officers were horrified when they saw the outline of the baby and the mum and dad were arrested. The Egyptian couple had landed at Sharjah International Airport in the United Arab Emirates with their child on Friday but were refused entry over the lack of proper paperwork. They were allowed to stay until the relevant office opened again on Sunday, but grew impatient and tried their luck when security shifts swapped over, this time with the baby in the bag. But their plan came unstuck thanks to alert security guards. A Sharjah police spokesman said: “They were risking the life of the baby. They said in an interrogation they had resorted to sneaking him through inside a bag because he did not have a passport or visa and they wanted to have him with them in the UAE.” Another police official added: “When customs officers saw the baby inside the bag at the X-ray scanner they were, not surprisingly, stunned. "This machine is very dangerous for anyone, let alone a baby in a suitcase to pass through. "A case will now be raised against the mother and father, they both have visas to come to the UAE, but they have put the life of their child at risk.” The couple were charged with endangering the baby’s life. They had previously reportedly been living in the UAE illegally and left because the mother was pregnant and wanted to give birth at home in Egypt. It is unclear how the child got on to the aircraft without paperwork or whether he was hidden during the flight. However, the baby was said to be well.
