Three suspects were arrested in Equestria‚ Pretoria after it was alleged that they intended to sell five rhino horns to undercover officers during a sting operation. They were then arrested by Hawks Endangered Species members.
Hawks spokesman Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi: “The trio were led to their hide-out‚ where a further three rhino horns were found and seized. The eight horns are estimated to be worth over R800‚000.”
The Hawks team examined the hide-out again as part of their ongoing investigation and were stunned to find a massive haul of almost 105 rhino horns.
