Three Vietnamese arrested with 15 million baht worth of rhino horns

 

 

Three Vietnamese were arrested at Suvarnabhumi international airport early Sunday morning (Sept 24) after Customs officials found 15 rhino horns worth about 15 million baht hidden in their three luggage.

 

The three suspects were identified as Yoeng Ba Ngia, 27; Ms Nguen Thi Thujang, 30; and Ms Pham Thi Thanghuei, 56.

 

An informed source said that customs officials at the airport were alerted to look out for passengers arriving from Angola by Ethiopian Airline who might try to smuggle rhino horns into Thailand.

Funny how the Customs guys can rattle a street value off the cuff like that.

Sickening trade,

those  who contribute to the demise of such a wonderful peaceful grazing tank ,

need their own horns removed and the  amputated parts sewn into their accomplice hole of choice,

 

 how nice she gets a choice 

 

pity the rhino did not,

When these guys get the horn, they really get the horn!!

secure 15 lengths of thin piano wire horizontal, 3 meters off the floor.  Place the smugglers in there.

 

P.S. are Thai authorities going to work with Angolans to find who else is behind the trade?  I'm sorry to say, even if they investigated, they wouldn't find much useful.  Thai investigators are inept, and I assume Angolans aren't much better.

Would be far better if they didn't, same with drug seizures. Quoting of fantastic sums of money to those who earn relatively little, only encourages them to try a get rich quick scheme.

Quoting likely sentences would be much more positive.
