Customs authorities claimed to have found close to a tonne of illegally poached snakes and turtles next to a stream in Kandal province on Saturday morning.

The 364 kilograms of turtles, 16 kilograms of pythons and 433 kilograms of cobras were found alive and stuffed into plastic bags in Prek Chrey commune, Koh Thom district, said district customs and excise director Moung Dara.

Dara said a confidential informant had tipped the authorities off that a boatload of illegal wood or animals was on its way to Vietnam.
