Phuket police hunt for exotic marine creature smugglers

 

 

PHUKET:-- Phuket officials intercepted a delivery of exotic marine creatures on a Bangkok-bound bus at Tah Chat Chai checkpoint about 7pm yesterday.

Several rare and endangered marine creatures were found hidden in the luggage compartment when officials stopped the bus for a random check. 

“We were conducting checks in accordance with the orders of Phuket Provincial Police Commander Teeraphol Thipjaroen.
