HANO: Police in Vietnam have made two sizeable seizures of illegally imported elephant tusks, state media said.
The VNExpress news site said customs police in central Danang’s Tien Sa port discovered “a large amount of elephant tusks and pangolin scales hidden in 19.5 tonnes of red beans in a container that had arrived from Malaysia”.
The total weight of the elephant tusks has not been calculated, the report added. Late last week, police also seized two tonnes of elephant tusks from Nigeria, state media reported.
