Bad Glue Foils Crook's Fake Ear Escape
August 9, 2000
KIEV (Reuters) - Cheap glue proved the undoing of a hard-core Russian criminal, whose fake ears came unstuck just as he was
crossing passport control at the Ukrainian-Slovak border, a Ukrainian daily reported Wednesday.
The popular paper Den quoted local customs officers as saying a "dangerous" Russian fugitive had tried to cross illegally into
Slovakia from western Ukraine with a passport belonging to another person.
To complete his disguise he had asked a surgeon to glue on artificial ears, but they popped off at the decisive moment.
The surgeon had economized on medical glue, using a cheap Russian-made product instead of high-quality Western one, the paper said.
