Customs authorities in Kandal province confiscated dozens of snakes and tortoises during a bust at the Vietnamese border on Monday, though the wildlife smuggler managed to escape while the search was being undertaken.

According to Moung Dara, customs chief at the Chrey Thom international checkpoint in Koh Thom district, where the bust took place, the suspect was stopped while riding a motorbike with large baskets attached.

“He kept [the animals] in the baskets under dead rats,” said Dara. “All of them were found to be alive.”

Pangolin among wild animals seized by WA
Fri, 23 October 2015

The Wildlife Alliance has rescued almost 1,700 animals from the illegal wildlife trade in 2015, with the organisation saying increased public awareness of its hotline number to report wildlife crime is a key factor in its success.

According to figures released by the conservation NGO this week, in the first nine months of the year it seized 1,674 animals, released the same number back into their natural habitats and imposed more than $27,200 in fines on traffickers.

In a notable case of the hotline being used, the Wildlife Alliance rescued a pangolin roaming near Phnom Penh’s O’Russey Market in May, after being alerted by a member of the public.
