Lester Lawrence, an employee at the Royal Canadian Mint, is accused of smuggling $180,000 worth of gold "pucks" out of the facility by hiding them in his rectum. Investigators discovered a tub of Vaseline in his locker after he repeatedly set off metal detectors without any visible metal on his person. The case, presided over by Justice Peter Doody, has drawn international attention for its unusual methods and the Mint's initial inability to confirm missing inventory.
