广东一11岁小学生书包内装14万元现钞，神情慌张

An 11-year-old pupil carrying 140,000 yuan (S$28,792) in cash in his schoolbag was spotted at a checkpoint on Chung Ying Street in Shenzhen on Jan 9, local media reported on Monday, citing the No 6 detachment of Guangdong border security forces of the People’s Armed Police.

驻守在粤港边界一线的武警广东边防六支队对外公布：9日，这个支队在深圳中英街破获一宗违规携带现钞案，执勤哨兵当场从一名11岁的小学生书包内查获违规携带的人民币现钞14万元。

The pupil, accompanied by a middle-aged man, entered Chung Ying Street at 6:45 pm on Jan 9. Suspicion was aroused when guards at the checkpoint found the flustered pair appeared to be in a hurry and shunned eye contact, so they checked their belongings and discovered 140,000 yuan in banknotes.

当日傍晚18时45分许，这名小学生在一中年男子的带领下，经镇内居民通道进入中英街，当其经过边防验证现场时，执勤哨兵发现两人步履匆忙，神情慌张，不断回避官兵目光，便将他们列为重点检查对象，并对其随身物品进行检查，最终在小学生的书包内当场查获人民币现钞14万元。

The man confessed that he was the boy’s father and put the money in his son’s schoolbag. But he could not name the legal source of cash. At present, the case has been transferred to Sha Tau Kok customs for further processing.

后经询问，该男子系小学生的父亲，他将钱放入了儿子书包，但未能说出现金的合法来源。目前，此案已移交沙头角海关作进一步处理当中。

China is a foreign exchange control country, and puts a limit on the amount of Chinese yuan, foreign currencies and securities carried by passengers crossing its borders, according to guards at the checkpoint.

据六支队执勤哨兵介绍，我国是外汇管制国家，人民币、外币现钞及其有价证券属国家限制进出境物品，按照国家规定，携带现钞进出境有数额限制。

For cash in Chinese yuan, inbound and outbound passengers are allowed less than 20,000 yuan. Passengers carrying cash worth more than 20,000 yuan must declare it in writing to customs.

对于人民币现钞，目前进出境旅客可携带的额度均为不超过2万元，超出以上现钞进出境额度的应向海关书面申报。
