Cleaners have discovered 280 gold bars worth £1.17million inside a plane's toilet at an airport in Bangladesh.
Armed police were called on board the plane which had flown from Dubai to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka where they recovered the gold weighing about 32kg.
Cleaners stumbled across the bullion when they were cleaning the plane's bathroom.
Custom officials said they knew the bars were on board and believe the person carrying them
sensed there was a police presence and abandoned the gold in the toilet of the aircraft before
fleeing the scene.
