According to the Government of Canada, certain goods are not allowed to be imported into Canada. This includes a variety of items from hate propaganda to used mattresses. This woman wasn't attempting to import anything illegal and we already know she declared the $15K. So what did she leave out?

New York State Police report that Nuzket Z. Hkan, a 45-year-old from Jersey City, New Jersey was attempting to enter Canada on Thursday August 25th. Yes, she declared the money but not all of the money. Allegedly she had an additional $200,000 or more stashed in the vehicle. But wait! There's more!

Hkan also forgot to mention that she is a fugitive from justice out of New Jersey. Her warrant came from a charge of possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose. It appears Canada would like to have known that.

Hkan was arrested and arraigned in the Town of Champlain Court. She was remanded to Clinton County Jail awaiting extradition.
