Endangered wildlife products seized in south China

Border police in the city of Baise, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said they have busted a case involving the smuggling of endangered wildlife products, according to The Xinhua News Agency reports.

The police intercepted a total of 10,328 dried seahorses weighing about 40 kg while inspecting a suspicious vehicle in the border county of Napo.

"The goods were seized as the driver failed to furnish valid legal documents for the goods", – the Baise police said.

According to the police, the destination of the bus was Dongguan, a city in Guangdong Province, and further investigation is underway.

In China, illegally importing, exporting, or smuggling products from endangered wild animals and plants are punished under relevant laws and regulations.
