Woman Caught Smuggling Vodka Bottle Into Sporting Event Inside Submarine Sandwich

That sub sandwich really has a kick! A sporting fan in the U.K. was recently forced to go without her tasty sandwich she so thoughtfully prepared for a day at the races because alcohol was not allowed at the sporting event. Let us explain.

Authorities at the Southwell horse track in Nottinghamshire, England, reportedly caught an attendee trying to smuggle in a bottle of vodka that has been placed inside a large sandwich complete with salami and tomato.

According to the Telegraph, security guards were tipped off by the weight of the “sandwich,” and asked the woman to open it for inspection.

“This was spotted by security yesterday,” wrote Southwell’s social media team on Twitter, alongside a photo of the Glen’s Vodka bottle nestled inside a submarine roll.

A spokesman for Southwell added to Fox News that security took the sandwich from the woman, but didn’t dispose of it out of respect for her inventiveness.

“We usually confiscate the alcohol and destroy it, but on this occasion, impressed by the lady’s ingenuity, we decided she could collect it after racing had finished,” said the spokesperson. “Needless to say, she didn’t collect the bottle and it is still sat in the racecourse office. source
