Shanghai railway police arrested two men, from Taihe County in eastern China’s Anhui Province, who were illegally carrying more than 50 ivory products, bought in Zimbabwe, as they were about to board a train. The pair had flown to Shanghai from Zimbabwe where they worked and planned to return to their hometown by train.
A thin man, who appeared to have a large stomach that was not proportional to his appearance, raised the suspicions of security staff at Shanghai Railway station on Tuesday night. Inspectors found a long cloth bag, wrapped around his midriff, which contained 10 ivory products and a further three strings of ivory products in his backpack.Police also captured the man’s companion, who attempted to flee, finding more than 30 ivory products in his suitcase.
