| Police in Russia’s far east say they stopped a hearse speeding on a highway – only to find half a tonne of caviar stashed inside. | |
| The interior ministry’s department in the Khabarovsk region said the hearse was caught speeding on the road connecting Khabarovsk, not far from the Chinese border, to a city further north. When police officers asked the driver to open the car they saw plastic containers with caviar hidden under the wreaths lying next to a casket. More caviar was found inside the casket, which did not contain a body. | The interior ministry’s department in the Khabarovsk region said the hearse was caught speeding on the road connecting Khabarovsk, not far from the Chinese border, to a city further north.
